You sent me a graft of "Guthrie" which died, but the rootstock lived.Yep, if I sent you a Guthrie, it was on KY-native P.angustifolia
I'm pretty sure I put it with the pots I saved from the drought. So that
will be Chickasaw.
I take it if you'd just planted some seeds fromPaul Zmoda sent me scions of Guthrie several years ago. I've since seen it offered at a couple of Southern nurseries, like Just Fruits & Exotics:
'Guthrie' you'd have the genes and probably a lot of the same behavior as
the parent. I'm assuming it did well enough for someone else to name it and
pass it on to you.
Were these other varieties other species? And whatI'm down to one beach plum, and yes, they were seedlings from OIKOS. Next door neighbors put in some sort of mounded septic system a year or two back and in the process, significantly altered drainage/seepage, such that one of my beach plums - the more dwarf and most productive one - has declined, and when I looked at it a week or so ago, it's completely dead.
about the beach plums you had? They'd be seedlings I think.
I don't know what species my native trees are. I collected them locallyYou know, other than some row-run seedlings I bought from Henry Fields a few years back and lined out in the nursery bed, I've never even seen P.americana. Every wild plum I've ever encountered was P.angustifolia.
and had assumed they were P. americana.
Are you losing the trees, or losing the fruit and if so, to what? LateI think the Euro plums I put on P.angustifolia are still alive, but after many years of no blossoms(like the Green Gage(purchased from Miller Nurseries) that still hasn't blossomed significantly or set any fruit after 12 years in-ground), I just let the Chickasaw shoots take over.
frosts, curculio, brown rot or all three?
