Happy Easter. And here's what's blooming
A collection of pomes in one tree. The Pome fruits includes Quinces, Apples, Asian Pears, European Pears, Asian x European Pear hybrids, Hawthorns, Loquats, Medlars, and others. The quinces are blooming and some apples are starting to open up. The pears are well on their way to fruit filling, very few petals left to drop.
I have 7 types of quinces on this tree. It also has 7 types of apples, 1 crabapple, 4 Types of Asian Pears, 6 European Pears and 2 Asian x European Pear hybrid all on the same tree. I used to have a hawthorn and loquat on this tree but they died, long term incompatibility problem, but I will find a more suitable interstem later to make them long lasting. Already I have grafted some good candidate interstems unto it and should be ready next year.
Note that the new grafts are already pushing out and some are even blooming already.
