I am so jealous! I love cherries and those plums-- I will never forget the plum tree I had in NC and the wine I made from it-- it was a brite pink wine and tasted sooo good--it could really put a smile on your face!

You are an inspiration Joe!

Very cool, Joe. My cherries are all gone now but I do have some white peaches and should be busy with those for a while and then some apricots and Dapple Dandy. Nothing close to the big variety you are blessed with. Thanks for sharing.

Zee sweet nuggets. Ripen, ripen, ripen.... Can't wait to taste these newest additions.

Zee sweet nuggets are those other Zaiger cultivars with no names on them yet, thus they are generic. They have outstanding taste but the fruits are not uniform in color nor sizes, at least some of them are. So they are not usually recommended for commercial production, but a true delight in the home grower's backyards. You can obviously see the various shapes and colors in one branch.

Another type of Zee nuggets. Zee stands for Zaiger and "Zweet".

I am enchanted by these big fruits of Flavorosa pluot. Perhaps this weekend, I will harvest them.

Splash pluot. Turns translucent yellow when fully ripe. Can't wait.

Assorted pluots. The California Heat wave would really perk them up.
