Here’s an interesting earlier thread about Pluot - @vitog journey in to becoming a Pluot farmer :) https://forums.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/threads/any-plumcot-pluot-growers-in-lower-mainland.102991/
@Georgia Strait, I just planted the new pluot and grafted a couple of branches last year; so, no, there was no fruit last year. I'll be lucky if I get any flowers this year.
Interesting - so the reason you doubt any flowers this spring 2024 is because … just curious - thank you I’ve never eaten a plum apricot cross if any percentage ratio tho of course am an Okanagan nectarine fan
Most fruit trees don't flower or fruit the year after planting; it is even less likely when the tree is planted as late as May, as mine was. However, some varieties are able to do it; I just don't know about pluots. I grafted two pluot branches onto my existing plum tree in the hope that they would bloom and start producing fruit earlier than the new tree. That is usually the case with grafted branches.
