chook shed plums
This my application to Watto's plum club .
Years ago I dug these up from the back of the chook shed. They didn't do much for ages then I saw Bjorn's Youtube vid and realised what I was doing wrong. check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANrC2TGL72U
I potted them up last year, and now they are on the right track. Cheers,
Symon

Two beautiful trees well on their way, I don't think you'll have any trouble with your application

Re: chook shed plums
Excellent application, and you are IN!
Love the "wildness" of these, especially the second one.

Re: chook shed plums
These look great. I'd love to see some more photos from different angles, especially of the second, if you wouldn't mind

Re: chook shed plums
I'm in the club! I'm in the club! I was going to say that I have admired your plums for years, but that doesn't sound right.
Thanks for the kind comments everyone.
Here you go Greg some more pics - apologies for crappy wide angle phone photos Cheers,
Symon

Re: chook shed plums
Agreed, the back on both look great. I would rethink the front
Great trees.

Re: chook shed plums
Thanks for sharing your trees, Symon. I have a couple of very young Japanese Apricot trees, and I'm doing ok with growing them on. Might have to consider putting them in the ground though, if I want fabulous trunks like yours!
Bjorn's vid was worth watching too, now all I have to do is remind myself to watch it again mid Summer!

Re: chook shed plums
I think is a trick of the camera that the backs look better. Having said that I like the idea of trees having more than one good side. Plum 2 got a repot and change of angle on sunday night so who knows where the frnt is now...
Mel, It is my understanding that many of the amazing Japanese plums are old garden trees that have been dug up. The plums here harden of in early October so don't leave it too long if you are going to defoliate.
Cheers,

Re: chook shed plums
Thanks Symon, I'm letting them grow atm, hoping to see if they'll flower. Probably too late now, but I'll keep hoping! Otherwise, I'll partially defoliate..and possibly plant one or two of them in the ground. The guy I got them from has them growing in his yard, and they really are magnificent when they're in flower.

Re: chook shed plums
Update on this one. It survived a holiday watering system breakdown and is now moving in the right direction.
