I’ve had a couple of OIKOS’ P.maritima seedlings
here for 10-12 years; the one that fruited on a regular basis has now
died; it was a small, multistemmed bush, never surpassed about 4-5 ft in
height, but did not sucker, either. Bore good crops of small very tart
fruit that hung well on the bush; not much pulp, but what was there was tasty –
birds would consume the pulp, leaving naked pits still attached, or they’d
just dry to ‘raisins’ on the bush; I might pick and eat a few, if I
happened to be passing by on the lawnmower. Planted at the periphery of
the orchard, on the property line, it declined and died after the neighbor
reworked his septic leach field, and it became much ‘wetter’ in
that spot. The other plant was significantly larger, and bloomed well, but
never set any fruit – I’ll admit, I never really paid much
attention to bloom periods, so I don’t know if it was earlier, later, or
whether there just was nothing else blooming at the same time to set fruit.
Easter freeze and drought of 2007 damaged it severely, and I’m now seeing
suckers popping up some distance from it. Have never seen any black knot on either plant, and brown rot
was never a problem with the one that fruited. Lucky Pittman Hopkinsville, KY – about 70 mi NW of Nashville, TN From:
