Plum & Apple Blossom
« on: May 08, 2013, 22:10 »
Hi All,

Last year I planted a small Victoria Plum tree and in 2011 I planted a small Cox apple tree.
This year they have both got some blossom on them.

I have never grown Plums or Apples before, does Blossom mean I will get fruit this Autumn?

Thanks FB

Assuming that the blossom gets fertilised, and there are no frosts to damage it, then probably yes.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

There will need to be other suitable varieties growing nearby for them to be pollinated.  :)

Victoria is self fertile, so as long as there's no frost damage - you should get some fruit this year  :)
As it is still young, don't let it bear too many or it won't fruit next year.

The Cox will need pollination to set any fruit at all.
