Fruit & pollination
A compatible pollenizer is required. Dave Wilson lists Flavor Supreme or Dapple Dandy pluot and Santa Rosa or Late Santa Rosa plum among partners; bloom overlap depends on the site.
Check bloom overlap before choosing a partner. Chill estimates describe winter cooling, not frost hardiness; coastal and inland Orange County sites differ.
Understand your rootstock
A vigorous plum-based rootstock for compatible plums, apricots and hybrids. Adaptable to a range of soils, including some heavier ground, but needs drainage and may sucker. The rootstock influences vigor and site adaptation but does not guarantee a specific mature height. Learn how fruit-tree rootstocks work.
Sun, soil & irrigation
Full sun, freely draining soil and irrigation matched to soil moisture and season.
Planting your bare-root tree
- Keep roots cool, shaded and moist until prompt planting.
- Spread roots naturally in a wide hole. Set the root flare at finished grade and keep any graft union above the soil.
- Backfill, water thoroughly and add mulch clear of the trunk. Avoid fertilizer-heavy backfill and waterlogged soil.
Your first year
Focus on roots and branch structure. Check moisture regularly, adjust irrigation with weather, remove rootstock suckers, and follow species-appropriate pruning and fruit-thinning guidance. Meaningful crops may take several growing seasons.
