@@HacknBuild American plum, and European plum rootstock. Both unknown rootstock cultivar. Also started using st. Julien. It’s one of the best for my conditions
I straight up pretty much dont like plums. But i got a Nadia cherry plum to fruit this year. It was enormous like a plum but it tasted like a really strong cherry.
Around here when you use any kind of mulch, you have to watch out for vole damage. Don't know if they're out that way but you'd have to lift the mulch to see their damage.
How do you keep the birds from eating them? My Methley fruited for the first year and the birds wouldn't leave them alone. I even covered them with nylon socks and they still got them all but two. They also have been going after my apples.
Do you put sealant on wear you take the cuttings in January on your stone fruit (to keep them from getting any diseases)? I planted a nectarine late fall one year and pruned it back and it ended up getting gnosis the next spring where I pruned it. Looking forward to putting in a nice order of scion wood for varieties that do well here in marry time PNW, in Jan.
I've grown Beauty and Methly at my last house with good success. I know many people grow Shiro here in oregon. Currently I have Burgundy with its first 20 fruit on it this year. I do have a Flavor Grenade Pluot that was blooming this spring when a late frost killed the blooms. A bacteria infected the damaged flowers and spread. It fully defoliated the bottom 1/3 the tree. Still I got about 20 fruit hanging on it.
Wow! You have quite a nice set-up in that dome! My purple tomato plant is about 6.5 feet tall now and I'm not sure what to do as it has outgrown the stake. I am going to have to rig something up so it doesn't break off at the top.
covering the roots with plastic will suffocate the roots and your trees will die. The best mulch would be cover crops or wood mulch. expose the roots and examine to see if roots have rotted because of the plastic covering. the black color raises the soil temp to above 40celcius and also prevents oxygenation.
@@rezatorabi7158 it’s woven, permeable and breathable plastic. Our summers are mild so heat is never an issue, even with black plastic. Also a layer of mulch under the plastic so soil is not overheated
Nice one. I had Romance cherries do the same thing, the plant from the nursery dies and 2 or 3 new ones take their place but can be hard to tell which is which since it looks like alders, pin cherries, even white birch. Perhaps remove the plastic to see if new ones sprout then replace it? Maybe Botanica does so much better because it doesn't sucker, just a thought thanks.
Hiya. There are areas on the English coast where sea buckthorn grows rampant, and I mean impenetrably dense. It seems the females are in large clusters, same with males.. it's not like they are evenly interspersed. What I find amazing is they are growing in pure sand dunes, no soil at all. We should believe that they get all the nutrients they need from the sand? I don't know, I find that hard to believe.. Also notable is that you find the odd one that is dead/dying just like in your video. I assume this must be quite natural for this species. I know there are a very valuable resource, I just cant stomach the taste really. The way I am currently processing them: Freeze some branches then you can bang them out on a large surface (set up a perimeter of planks or whatever to contain them) You get leaves coming off too ( I don't bother seperating). Then I will squish this by cramming it into a large pot. The berry skin must break or it won't dehydrate. I then flatten out and dehydrate. You can powder this cake in a coffee grinder as needed, and this also crushes the seeds which contain abundant amounts of oil.
@@nickkasko2097 It appears so with some vitamins like C and B but the mixture also becomes more concentrated as it is cooked down. But it can also make proteins and other vitamins more digestible. I know with elderberries it is best to cook them because they contain lectin and cyanide. Cooking the berries and seeds removes the cyanide. I think most of the nutrition is retained with having to cook elderberries and I would think the same about Sea Buckthorn.
Well, now I hope my montmorency are good. Cherries are difficult with heat, direct sun, and mostly/ humidity/disease/blight. Other than political and cultural differences the PNW sounds amazing. My zone 8a is known by all locals for extreme weather changes. Hard freezes in the 20s seldom in the teens. but 100 degree highs for a month. Im hoping pomegranates do better here!
Don't they taste how feet smell? 😁Could it be some sort of delayed graft incompatibility killing the two trees? (Or are they on their own roots?) If they're on rootstock whatever seedlings are being used might not be compatible with all scions?
Thanks for the video. I suppose all varieties are equally susceptible to the gooseberry worm that eats the leaves. I've got the Hinnomaki Red, tastes like bubble gum :) grows in zone 4b fairly well. I like the idea of growing them as standards with a trunk.
I have Hinnonmaki Red, Jahn’s Prairie and a native wild variety to Arkansas. I train my bushes like roses with a trunk of 6 inches and branches shaped like a vase. Gooseberries sucker mightily. I cut out all them so I don’t end up like Snow White’s Enchanted Briar Forest. I prefer the ripe berries. They are small but delicious. It’s like a cross between a plum and a raspberry. Thanks!
Wow, great collection of goosberries ❤! I have five bushes of Nesluchowski , love it . Similar size like your poorman, but way smaller size of the plant Greetings from Slovakia ❤
All of my gooseberries and currants are dieing. I think the high humidity is the issues. Looks like you have an amazing collection. I hope you do a a fulm tour sometime!
I have Hinnonmaki Red, Captivator, and Invicta all fruiting for me for the first time this year and I thought Captivator was my favorite in size and flavor. I had a Jahn’s Prairie variety die on me so maybe I will replace it with a Poorman. Thanks for the review!
Black Velvet is pretty good and the bush grows crazy fast. Berries have been on the smaller size. The smaller berries make a good pie and/or jam. My Poorman almost died to mildew its first year, so I haven't gotten any berries yet. Birds have been my main gooseberry problem.
a really solid way to stop ants is to wrap the trunk with a foam strip that is at least 2 inches wide, then apply tanglefoot to the foam. it's a product made specifically for that purpose. it works really well.
