Our new pear tree has one beautiful blossom.......
shall we all share one pear?
Our Plum tree is covered with blossoms.
Funny story about this plum tree; it was a gift to my husband when we bought our home 7 years ago. It would not grow ANY fruit. We tried cross pollinating it- and the cross polinators died.
Last year I was ready to tear it out of the ground.
I was pregnant with Sam and sick of watching it not bring plums.
When I read a tidbit about women giving birth in 2007, I learned that 2007 was the chinese zodiac of the GOLDEN PIG. Apparently rare and lucky- our new baby would be born a GOLDEN PIG.
Last summer, I went out to our Plum tree........and it PRODUCED FRUIT FOR THE FIRST TIME!
Now, I know for certain that when I bought the tree, it was labled with a picture of a purple, sweet plum.
The plums on our tree? All 20 or so of them, BRIGHT, SWEET and
GOLDEN!
I had never heard of a golden plum tree before......the fruits were wonderful.
So in the year of our Golden PIGGY being born; in the 7th year of its life, our tree produced GOLDEN PLUMS.
Let's hope it does again this year!

Well now, golden plums? I've never heard of a golden plum tree either. Can't wait to see if it bears more fruit for you! :c)
Actually I have chinese Golden Plum tree in my front yard that has bore fruit every year since about 1999. THe only problem I have with it is I have to constantly prune it every year - or the weight of the plums will break the branches!
