It seems like too quiet lately ...

Anything to talk about?
Holidays? Weather? Threes?
How was your harvest this year?

Was literally thinking the same lol! It's always quiet after the harvest. I'm awaiting some cuttings in late December / early January and am currently practicing rooting my leftovers from last season. Also praying that my smaller trees make it through the winter in the garage. I have 3 or 4 that stayed pretty small and I'll be bummed if they don't make it

Normally this is the time of year I like to step away from the plants but for the past several weeks I've been working on re-landscaping our backyard. No rest this winter.

Nice! That’s what I’ve been doing too. I am trying to get rid of as many pots as possible planting in ground . Came up with 2 nice raised beds. I read that a pom root system is about 1 m in radius and 1/2 m deep. That’s not a lot and the trees will do well in the beds.

sounds like you and I are working on similar projects. So what varieties are going in your raised beds?

I want to extend my season and plant the earliest I could find: Sverhranniy and Medovyi Vahsha.
This will give me September trough December months if they produce by the book

4 months of poms sounds glorious!

I’ve gotten distracted by finding out that I can grow sugar cane in my zone.


On the Pom front, my salavatskis flowered like crazy this year, so I’m excited to possibly get some fruit in 2021. Now to get some of my other 50-or-so varieties to flower. Pro-tip: the people who say poms don’t need fertilizer aren’t growing in clay!

I now have several cuttings I’m attempting to root, and extra wood in the refrigerator for possible graft attempts:
Utah Sweet
Parfianka
Sirenevyi
Salavatski
Medovi Vasha
Al Shirin Nar

Congrats ! I am thinking to root a few as well. I also left good side branches to graft , to have 2 varieties per tree.
