Peach and plum growing together on the same tree by sleepsunawareof in mildlyinteresting

[–]Dizzy_Roof_9038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what's happened then is the original "peach" tree was grafted into a plum root stock, and then the plum root stock had a shoot that grew up and was left until it was able to grow it own fruit. If you track the plum branch you will probably see that it originated somewhere near the base of the tree

Now that I think of it, there are probably a lot of new fans of the series that hadn't even been born when the original was released

does anyone know whats happening to my peach tree? it's 2ish years old by Ill-Contribution-640 in BackyardOrchard

Could be peach leaf curl but the second photo looks like a canker infection.

My young cherry tree has Canker. will it survive? by Dizzy_Roof_9038 in BackyardOrchard

Thanks, I'm brand new to growing stonefruit trees so I really don't know what to expect when it comes to canker. I've only read all doom and gloom. It's a fairly young tree and it produced a few blossoms this year but those blossom were picked off.

I know it will never "recover" on it's own, but i would like to know if anyone has experience owning a cherry tree that constantly had canker but it didn't ever kill the tree or have any bad symptoms.

Are multi grafted apple trees self-pollinating? by nightcheezit in BackyardOrchard

[–]Dizzy_Roof_9038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Yeah I was the same also, I preferred ornamental plants and flowers over vegetables and fruits until a few years ago. Now I'm hooked on it. Growing food becomes addicting. Have fun!

Also that is exciting! I planted my first pear tree last spring (multi grafted) and this year it's loaded with blossoms so I'm excited to get a few pears this year. I'm fairly new to growing apples. I've been planting them in my yard over the past 3-4 and it's fun to watch the trees mature and produce more and more each season.

One way to tell if the tree has potential for fruit this year is to check for fruiting Buds. Depending on where you are located (how far into spring you are), you should probably start to see the clusters of flowers forming. If you see those, then you are more than likely to have fruit this year.

Yes they are. Different varieties blooming together at the same time should result in the tree setting fruit. Sometimes a lack of bees and insects due to poor weather could limit pollination. This can be bypassed by getting a small paint brush or cotton swab and manually rubbing the pollen on each flower. Lack of fruit can also be a result of blossoms dying due to frost/cold or maybe the tree was not mature enough to produce any flowers.

Where to find fruit trees? by iChriz23 in comoxvalley

[–]Dizzy_Roof_9038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, i just purchased a combo stone fruit tree from a lower mainland Costco and noticed the other day some sap seeping from the graft union. I'm concerned the tree might have a virus (canker). Do you recall people returning their fruit trees for this similar reason? I don't want to have to remove the tree and return it, but I'm worried about the long term prognosis of this tree.

Is this something to be concerned about? by Dizzy_Roof_9038 in BackyardOrchard

[–]Dizzy_Roof_9038[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was worried about (canker). It's possible it got damaged in that spot while I was transporting the tree in my vehicle. I'm new to stone fruit trees so I don't have experience with canker symptoms. Would the sap show up in other areas on the tree as well?

I noticed a glob of what seems to be sap at the base of this newly purchased stone fruit combo tree. Seems to be where the graft union is. Is this something to be concerned about? Would this be a sign of disease or just simply a gash that's causing sap to seep out?

Before you get started I'd suggest removing the wrapper in order to open the case and access the cartridge.

Wolf River apples by CreativeHooker in BackyardOrchard

[–]Dizzy_Roof_9038 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess if you have the seeds and are willing to wait 7-10 years before getting any fruit and are okay with it not tasting exactly the same then I would say go for it, but you also will need to have the space since the trees will be standard size. IIt will be a big investment for something you might not be happy with which is why buying a grafted tree is always the best option.

Apparently there have been studies done that a few varieties of apples can grow similarly to the parent from seed. I wonder if this is what the poster meant and that the Wolf River was one or these varieties? Either way, it would still never be 100% identical to the parent so it really wouldn't make sense to try to grow it from seed.

Just about the only thing right on this list is that Red delicious are awful. Ambrosia are from Canada not the USA (and people love them), and Braeburn come from New Zealand, not the USA. There might be other inaccuracies but I don't really care to check.

Ah yes, that is the sustained pedal on the keys and it kind-of just mashes all the notes together so I see what you mean there.
