Lon,
What kind of fruit did the other seedlings produce? Did the seeds come
from one of Zaiger's plumcots?

Interesting how things work out. I don't care to grow cherries because
of
the cherry fruit fly. However, some years ago I planted a row of
seedlings
of a plumcot. One of them has been producing small yellow plums of very
good quality that are already ripe. It has been doing this for several
years. The catch is that the plums are the size of cherries. Even the
pits
are as small as a cherry pit. You would actually think they were
cherries,
until you ate one. Good, juicy and very pleasant, but obviously a plum.
But no cherry fruit flies. So maybe they will be my "cherries" from now
on.
