Got 4 poms from fruitwoodnursery

Post by greenfig »

For $5 each it’s a really good deal. Nicely rooted about a foot tall cuttings . Paid $33 with delivery for all 4.
I’ve got Austin, Syunt, Sogdiana, and Azadi

Great price! There's a few on their website that I wouldn't mind adding to my collection. Can you share a pic of your plants when you get a minute? I'd like to see what they actually look like.

Sure, will do tomorrow with a daylight.
I already potted them up so you won’t see the roots but they were good.

It is in a 1 gal pot

Hey for $5 you can't go wrong. Young pom wood repairs easy. If the bend isn't a 100% break you can tape the branch and it will heal over in like 3 weeks.

Good stuff - The Syunt I received a couple of weeks ago looks pretty much identical to yours. Related, have you had any luck sourcing those bigger plants you were looking for?

Not broken, just bent. The branches are very flexible, will support them with stakes

I hope they grow well. I’ve never tasted those varieties, just read about them. Will 3 years be enough?

Several people pointed to Rolling River and also suggested talking to a local nursery asking them to order from Dave Wilson. I think I am ok for now. That wasn’t for me but for my friend who tasted my poms and now wants to plant them too having fruit ASAP :)

Makes sense, I admit it seemed sort of strange to me that you - someone whose gotten fruit from a seedling in a year! - would be all that concerned about starting with a 3g pom versus a 1g (or smaller). :D
