This is the blossom on my Ozark Premier plum tree this year, also picture from previous years showing size of fruit against pound pack butter. Very large clean sweet juicy eat out of hand fruits, some what similar to the English Victoria's. qahtan    |

My Cambridge Gage hasn't got so many flowers this year, but it may have overdone it last year. Trouble was, I wasn't well as the fruit ripened, a gale knocked them all off the tree, and by the time I got there a couple of days later the slugs had taken chunks out of every one! Hopefully it'll have something for me this year. A Victoria plum I put in last year, and which grew rampantly, has a faw flowers. Hopefully it'll have a fruit or two later.

My plums and cherry is in bloom now. Just started a couple days ago. They are not as spectacular as that though!

I had to move my small Santa Rosa plum along with one of my apple trees this last winter, the problem that I have with it is that it blooms a month to early and usually the frost gets any of the fruit. I hope that I didn't do it in by moving it, but if I did I will try and find a later blooming variety. the reason i had to move it in the first place was it got planted right where the garden was supposed to go and it kept getting in the way when we were moving soil into the raised beds. This spring we enlarged the garden by another 15 feet and I ended up having to move my small apple tree and my elderberry bush, thankfully they all look like they will make it.
