The Sweet Treat Pluerry has Fruit!

Our first taste of the first fruit off our Sweet Treat Pluerry.

Wow that thing looks big for 3 yrs old n those fruits looks great.

These trees grow pretty quick. I do very hard prunes during the winter to manage the size. Thanks for watching!

Ive just gotten one if these trees and see now it has a ways to go before seeing fruit. Your trees look gorgeous 😊. Thanks for sharing.

[@simplysustainablefood]

Thanks, I miss them.

I have never heard about this fruit until I came across your channel.

[@simplysustainablefood]

Thats awesome! Its not super common, but its easy to grow and a fast fruiter.

[@robkeller3431]

That tree is huge for only being 3 yrs.

[@simplysustainablefood]

It is much smaller than it was. Year two I cut the main trunk at @3 feet to encourage lateral growth. I stuck that piece in the soil and it is about 6 ft tall already.

It rooted?

[@juliosdiy3206]

Wow i would like to c that tree.

So I was left with the impression that you both were unimpressed with the fruit. What did you actually think of it?

[@simplysustainablefood]

We were not blown away by that one. It had just a hint of cherry, plum and sweetness. It did not live up to our uninformed expectations. It could have used another week on the tree or time on the counter for sure. The other ones that we left until they were more ripe were much more flavorful.
