Interesting information on a fruit I just learned the name of. I seen them in our store. I had to try. I have the red flesh one . Delicious. Flavor favors the plum.
I bough the same tree in Home Depot , I bough it as a mango apricot , it fruited for the first time this year, I got about 7 fruit very delicious I didn’t know about it very much but now I am very happy the fruit is amazing.
Lovely work & shape of the tree. Great tasting analysis of the fruit. Just one suggestion that could you tell the temperature of the day or the season in which you make these videos cause that will help alot for the viewers in matching their climatic timings for planting same trees.
Hey J M. Thanks and great suggestion on relaying the season and temperature. We have viewers in several countries including Australia so that would really help. Thanks again for the suggestion!
Hey Bob. That's great input. We started harvesting these last week and are still finding that they're needing to ripen on the counter. If we could keep the birds away that long I can see where we would need to let them ripen further as well.
Sorry to hear about those plums, we know just how you feel. This time of year it's hit or miss with the birds and the organza bags, but they usually work pretty good. We don't put anything in there to deter them, so if a particularly rambunctious bird wants in they'll peck their way in.
Hey RDC, great question! It grows just fine, but we have yet to see any fruit production from it. We have one on the new farm, but it's at least a couple of years from production at this point. I don't have access to this one on the old property, so not sure how it's doing.
Hey there! The hybrids are superior in taste and fruit quality, but you need a pollinator for them to fruit. Our favorite is the Sweet Treat Pluerry, but you need a Burgundy plum to pollinate it. That combo will give you amazing fruit and strong production.
Hey Maria! These trees are about 2 feet apart which is about as close as you would want to plant a semi-dwarf tree. It sounds like you have a couple of semi-dwarfing Asian Pears, so you can do it this. Just be sure to prune them nice and heavy in the offseason and fertilize them regularly.
Hey Rob. I don't know whether or not this is producing on the old farm (we know the new owners, but we don't go over there), but our tree here on the new farm is going into it's third year of growth this season, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.
@EdgeofNowhereFarm I see. I wanted to get one, but I have yet to read of one that has actually been productive. Hopefully, yours will be so you can show us that it's possible. Thanks for your reply!
Hey Miguel, that's a great question! Pluot trees are hybrid trees that are grafted onto root stock. Strange as it may sound, planting the seed (pit) will usually result in a tree that is the same or similar to the root stock. So it would depend on what the root stock is and that could be one of several different types of stone fruit (peach, apricot, plum, etc). Either way, it might be cool to see what you get!
Great question and I would say it depends on the Pluout. We've had some very sweet pluouts that rival/surpass the taste of a fully ripened Santa Rosa, but they can vary quite a bit in flavor. The Flavor Finale Pluout is hard to beat if you can get one fully ripened!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm good to know. I have a santa rosa in ground and thinking about replacing with a 3 in one pluot. Flavor king/flavor queen/dapple dandy. Only have room for one. What do you think?
@@gorillavines4100 Haven't had the flavor queen before, but the other 2 are solid choices. I can't remember for sure if/what the pollinator would be. Santa Rosa is used as a pollinator on many varieties, but you may be good with that mix alone.
@@christianlloydcomia9138 Ah, ok. I would imagine there are not very many chill hours in your beautiful country. Plum trees need several hundred hours of time below 45 degrees Fahrenheit (about 7 degrees celsius) in order to produce fruit.
@@christianlloydcomia9138 yes, you're probably seeing one of the Indian jujube varieties. They are more tropical in nature and require very little if any chill hours from what I understand. The Chinese varieties usually require more chill time and are much more cold hardy than the Indian varieties.
Hello Kartikay. I'm not sure whether you can have these exported to India or not. We don't sell trees, but we have had some folks from India suggest having friends or family in the states ship them over there for planting.

Enjoy your videos as always, Duane. Happy to be getting some rain finally!
Hey Austin! Thanks for the comment and yes it sure is nice to hear the rain on the roof again. It's about time!
Interesting information on a fruit I just learned the name of. I seen them in our store. I had to try. I have the red flesh one . Delicious. Flavor favors the plum.
If you can find them ripe, they are really hard to beat!
I bough the same tree in Home Depot , I bough it as a mango apricot , it fruited for the first time this year, I got about 7 fruit very delicious I didn’t know about it very much but now I am very happy the fruit is amazing.
Hey Oscar! Yes, these fruit really are unique and something you just don't find in the store. Glad you're finding success with your tree!
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Hey Daniel. Sure thing!

I'm in SoCal, so not as warm as you, but we try not to pick Grenade's until September. They hang forever and keep getting better.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm Try hanging old cd in trees it keeps birds away here they don't like the flashing
@@briangibson8921 I've seen people do that and use the scare tape. Need to give that a try.
Just curious. What do you put in the organza bags to deter the birds. We've had birds decimate our plum tree in just a few days.

@@EdgeofNowhereFarm So just empty bags to distract the birds? Clever! (Sounds better than the CD's we used to hang to deter them.)
@@patp4789 it does a pretty good job overall.
How did the Peacotum turn out? I'm thinking of adding one but its hard to find much info about growing/taste/issues. TIA!

Hello, how far apart are this trees? I want to plant 2 asian pears like that, they supuso to grow 8 to 12 feet max.

Has the Peacotum been more productive now?

Will planting a pluot pit/core result in a pluot tree? Or will it yield plum or apricot tree?
Pardon my ignorance
