This spring I planted 2 varieties of Goumi that I purchased this year
from One Green World. They are only 10 -12" tall, but one plant
flowered profusely early this spring. I picked the flowers off, but must
have missed one as I got 1 fruit this year in early May. Small sweet
cherry sized and delicious. Sweeter than I expected.
I was surprised at how quickly the fruit formed and ripened after
flowers appeared. I will have to see how they perform over the years,
but they look good now.
