Yes, even in Glasgow, my Pluot has started flowering. There is no sign of insect life yet, so I will have to resort to hand pollination. No sign of any other plums flowering either.
Does anyone else have a pluot in flower now?

Wow...never heard of pluots before.  Now I want one!  My fruit trees look like they are getting ready to flower at any moment.  Lovely buds on them.

Never heard of them either (not the first time I've lost the pluot though - I'm going outside, and I might be some time!)
