What is a good self-pollinating Plum tree? I'm only going to plant one and am looking for lots of small to medium sized good to eat fresh and mostly to dry fruit. I have the hole dug right now.

These guys are a pretty good outfit. www.autumnridgenursery.com/categories.cfm?category_id=7 These guys have some great ideas about growing fruit trees. www.davewilson.com/homegrown/homeindex1.html |
My climate is probably about like yours. I'm in the high desert, about 4700 ft and fairly warm. I've been looking at the santa Rosa. How do they taste? |
They taste great to me. But consulting my grow zone map, I am deep in zone 8, 95 % of Colorado is in zone 4 and 5 (nothing close to where I live). Check out where ever you order/ buy from, they should be able to lead you in the right direction. Santa Rosa's may work there, but I would check befor I dropped the $. Remember, the tree my live and grow, but the climate may preclude it frome ever fruiting. Buy local, they will carry what works in your area and they can tell what kind of and how much fruit it will bear. Good luck. |
Hell yes. Those beetles are unbeatable. We have to get the plums of our tree before the plums are ripe or the bugs just destroy them. We have thought of planting a few more tress to get some yield, like in 10 years.
