#beachplum — Public Fediverse posts

The Beach Plum, Prunus maritima, I bought last year has burst into bloom in the front yard during the last few days. This year I planted a second one that has only been in the ground for a couple of weeks and is not ready to bloom. Since it is said you need at least two for cross pollination in order to get beach plums, I might not have fruit this year unless there is one growing somewhere else nearby. But sometimes gardening is about waiting. I'm happy that this one has flourished.
