Hog Plum Not Leafing Out

(1/2) > >>

clllocke:
Hello everyone,

I have had these two hog plums, red and yellow for 1 to 2 years each. For some reason this year they have not grown any leaves. The yellow variety had one fruit that accidentally was nicked off and the red variety had a bunch of flowers in the spring that did not grow fruit.

Each plant has not grown leaves at all this year. The red variety is trying to put out flowers still but they don't fully open and just dry up. My other red hog plum is doing fine in the same exact conditions. It also didn't hold any fruit this year unlike last, but it's grow vigorously as expected for this plant.

Anyone know what the issue could be? Does the tree take year off in between fruiting? Could it be root rot? They are in grow bags so that should be a major issue.

Any guidance would be appreciated.











Growing red hog plum

pineislander:
They are very tough trees. Even large limbs can survive after being cut off. If it is impossiblke to be too wet, it must be too dry.

clllocke:
Dry meaning air or water? My other tree is growing so its confusing as to why the other two are not.

Have you had this issue? Did it just resolve itself?

pineislander:
No, I don't keep trees in pots, always plant in ground. I was just trying to think logically. I've never planted in those sort of bags but expect they drain very well compared to plastic pots.

clllocke:
Thanks for feedback. Yeah not sure what it is. One of hog plums is in a black plastic pot that has stayed moisture and the other one is grow back not growing either. The last one is in grow bag too but is growing vigorously as it should.

I'm not sure if this is a matter of the plant fru
Flowering early then not setting fruit and not recovering thus going dormant until next year.

Anyone else with any suggestions?
