Group:
The following is my preliminary list ranking shade-tollerance of these
orchard species of Prunus

Most tolerant: European plum (P. x domestica)
Next: sour cherry (P. cerasus)
Next: apricot (P. armeniaca; P. mandschurica)
Next: wild plums (P. americana; etc.)
Next: sweet cherry (P. avium)
Least: pin cherry (P. pennsylvanica) & beach plum (P. maritima) - just like
pear and apple



Does this sound right?


or...


1. Is sour cherry a little more shade-tolerant than apricot?
2. etc.


I assume pomegranate is less shade-tolerant then fig?


Thanks,
Steve
