Plums in the Rain

Uploaded by: ChrisAnthemum — Thursday April 26, 2012 — Westfield, NC (Current Weather Conditions)

This young plum tree is setting on its first crop, which looks like a good one. However, I have not been able to keep up the spraying program as faithfully as I should; it seems every day, it either rains or is too windy to spray, and you can see that insects have already attacked these immature fruits.

Lovely shot, Kathy !
Your plums are so far advanced, already. Hope
you `ll be able to do some spraying, soon.
Our plum trees are just blooming here - and there is still snow looking down from the higher elevations.

A pleasing green image, Kathy. Sorry about the insects. It seems that when our apple trees bloom here it always rains off the blossoms.
My crabapple did not bloom this year. Are there any general reasons for that? It was an abnormally warm winter and spring. The birds had eaten the fruit off early because there was little frost to preserve them from the birds.

Thanks for commenting, Betsy! It's been a crazy weather spring for just about everybody this year. While these plums are doing well, I've had an apricot and a cherry tree to die this spring (in addition to the peach which died last summer and just got cut down now), and another cherry and peach, usually very hardy, are doing poorly. At the same time, all my other fruit trees are doing well. I don't know how to answer your question except to say that fruit trees like ordinary, predictable weather, and this year it's been anything but!
