Baby tree already budding!

 I put in two young fruit trees a few months ago.  An apricot, and one
month later, a plum.

Yesterday I saw blooms all over the plum!  Sweet little tree, just a
baby, already trying to procreate!

I assume there won't be fruit this year...but you have to hand it to
the plum for trying.

I just found this so touching!

Plum trees really need a pollinator, you should have planted two
different plum trees.  And there is a good chance your plum and
apricot trees will cross pollinate and produce pluots.  Newly planted
stone fruit will usually blossom the first year but may not fruit for
4-5 years.  I planted two different plum trees four years ago, they
blossomed each year but this is the first year one produced plums.

I had the same combo -- plum and apricot -- for years at approx same
distance apart.  They produced true fruit.  When they had to be sent
to fruit heaven, I should have IMMEDIATELY replanted.  Instead I let
too many years ago by.  So I hope I'm still around when they produce
fruit.
