We have had a great bloom this year. These images were taken about 10 days ago in the midst of the pollinating efforts of many bees, wasp and flies. We had a short window for pollination before the weather turned bad. Luckily the temperature have not fallen to destructive levels (cross your fingers and toes).
Our two plum trees should be heavily laden with tasty fruits this Aug. Both are Japanese plum varieties. We planted our little orchard about 15 years ago.
In the foreground is one of my tastiest fruit tree varieties. I think it is called Alberta Queen. Very sweet like the July Alberta but larger and stays attached to the tree longer while ripening. The yellow bush in the background is a Forsythia.
Spring in Utah can give you flowers in the valley and winter in the mountains. In fact our mountains just got clobbered with a couple of feet of snow. Well enjoy your gardening
I love plums! I hope the snow doesn't effect the trees. It is May, we should be having warm spring weather!
