I have to second that one my friend. He really developed some amazing hybrids over the years. Hopefully there will be somebody who can step in and continue his amazing work.
we picked one of these and a candy heart up about 1.5 months ago. They sounded delicious by the tag but seeing this makes me super excited for the fruit that was already on it to be ready in july/aug
You guys are going to love this fruit. We were surprised how good the fruit was on a young tree like this. Hopefully you'll see (and taste) the same results!!
@@EdgeofNowhereFarm yes, me too. Have you guys ever tried the candy heart? They look to be more plum like but I cant find any one who has done a review on them.
Hey Karen! Wow, what an AWESOME Christmas present! We don't have a specific video on planting this tree, but it would be the same as any other fruit tree. If it's a potted tree you can check out any of our planting videos from earlier this year. You can find them under our fruit tree playlist and most of them were posted in March/April. If it's a bare root tree it's a little different, so I'll link that one here. It's a bit older, but the concepts are the same. We'll also be filming the planting of our bare root trees in the next few weeks, but by then you should have this one in the ground! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GLK73DTco64.html
Hey Branda! We bought this one from Greg Peterson's Urban Farm Fruit Tree program. It was a special order and he usually starts his bare root tree program at the beginning of September for January delivery.
Hey Allan. No, this one is staying, but it's definitely on the list for replacing as quickly as we can. Sometimes I forget these won't be ours in the near future.
I would like to know where did you get that tree? I like that tree too much but I was looking for it long time ago but I could not see it anywhere ? Please let me know where did you get it. Thank you very much.
Hello Tai! We bought this tree from the Urban Farm here in Phoenix. They bring in bare root Dave Wilson trees every winter and this one we special ordered through them. Right now you might be able to find this for sale through online nurseries that ship bare root trees in the spring.
Ooh, that sounds fantastic! Yes, we do cut them back to about 2.5 - 3 feet at planting time to keep the overall height down. You'll have to let us know how that tastes once you get fruit!
Dave Wilson listed the Burgundy plum as the cross pollinator for it, but I have to say it seems to fruit whether or not it's cross pollinated as we've seen fruit set before the Burgundy has even flowered!
These are Dave Wilson trees, so you would need to find a distributor for them. You didn't mention where you're located, but the Urban Farm Fruit Tree program is where we sourced ours from .
One of my least favorite hybrids from Zaiger Genetics. In my opinion it is like a small sweet plum with an ordinary taste. Candy Heart Pluerry is much better in my opinion.
