HORT 15 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Prunus Serotina, Cherry Plum, Prunus Cerasus
Document Summary
Prunes - very diverse and commercially important group of plants. **** if you screw up with this one you will screw up with the pollination, if you have 2 of the same they will not self pollinate themselves. The do not overlap in the owering time, early, mid, and late. Limiting factor to why we don"t grow a whole lot of prunes, because you have to have quite a few to get the pollination right. Pollinizer - is the source of pollen. Another genetically distant but compatible plant which is. Pollinator - is the vector of pollen movement. Pincherry - ( not going to be on a test ) They are not self incompatible, so you have to have a few of them. Suckling action, so they send out other plants away from the mother. So you would not put these in homes since they expand. Produced like the chokecherry but double it in size.
