Sorry Ram. I thought most folks knew about these. I've never tried them and didn't want to insult others with a definition.

Call me a fffaaaagggg TW, I don't mind. I love some fruit!

I know very little about fruit trees

With hybridized fruit, the seed either won't grow (sterile), or it will have the characteristics of one of the parents. That is what happens if you harvest seeds from vegetables anyways.

Tank fell in love with kumquats a few years ago... For his birthday/fathers day, I found a nursery that sent me a tree. it was only about 15" high, and we have been growing it since. Currently, it is about 4 feet high, and has yet to bear any fruit. We keep hoping.

Mattie, Lou is right, you will not want to plant a seed. You will need to purchase the plant from a nursery and pay close attention to the chill hour requirement. Also, there are over a handful of pluot varieties.

I stand corrected. Apparently the pluots from seed have been successful, but do pay attention to chill hours and required pollenizers.

Do kumquats need a pollinator? Several fruit trees will not fruit if not near another type of same fruit. Many cherry and plums need different varieties to produce.

Matty, if they will grow, check to see if you will need to plant two close by for same reason, or if one of the parents need to be planted to pollinate.

You also may want to check on root grafting. All the fruit trees I have bought have obvious signs of being grafted. That way it has the growth and hardiness of a certain variety, and the production of a more prolific or flavorful type.

Are these a different name for the plumcotts being marketed as well? Those Plumcotts Rock!

Best time to plant a stone fruit tree (or any deciduous tree for that matter) is during the dormant season. Say Dec.-Feb. and transporting them are easier and lighter w/o the weight of soil. But they can be planted successfully anytime of the year.
