- How to grow Plum Trees from seed!
Another video in a new series about growing plum trees - or at least my second attempt at it! The first one failed because I transplanted the germinated plum seeds before the roots were large enough to adapt from the ziploc bag into soil. I've learned my lesson and I've restarted the series.
🔴This update is almost at the trees 16 month mark. In the last video, he was 8 months old and so he is twice as old now. The winter freeze made me worried about this young plum sapling but he did just fine! In fact, he broke his buds early this spring right along with all of my peach trees. I'll also be updating his companion tree (the one that looks like a peach tree oddly enough).
Thanks for watching!

Other thoughts:
1) One of the Saplings appears to have Peach tree leaves? Is it going to be a peach tree or do the leaves just look like a peach tree's leaves but likely a plum hybrid?
The plum seeds that I am using in this series were purchased from an organic grocery store but I think these may have been hybrids now that I see the two types of plums (one may be a peach tree) growing. I left the plums in the fridge for more than 3 extra months - a form of stratification, if you will.
After several months in the cold fridge (when they were near rotting) I removed the seeds. Then I used a small hammer to crack the seed shell and remove the actual seeds.
Next, I tested the seeds for viability by soaking them in water for about an hour to ensure the seeds sank (this usually means that they are viable seeds).
I then used the wet paper towel/ziploc bag method to create a mini greenhouse for them and placed them in a warm dark place.
Finally, after 3 weeks, 2 of them sprouted. I waited another week to ensure the roots were healthy enough and there was some green seed leaves emerging before I transplanted them.
It's been 3 months now and both are doing well.
One I topped for a test to see how it grows compared to a non-topped one.
I am excited to see how these plum trees grow over the next several months.
Thanks again for watching!

How do you keep animals out. I unfortunately live in the city.
noemi carrion they are a pain and require constant monitoring. My dog has helped but he’s not out n about much.
Great video. My wife is awesome with plants. I showed her this video and I’m trying to get her to start a plant channel.
That was a great video clip you put up there and I hope you get some good size plums off the tree 👍👍
I still have my Peach Tree (which has broken its buds and starting to put out leaves) and planning on planting it next week. I might put it in a very large planter for the time being as I haven't completely figured out where I'm going to put the tree. I tried a plum seed before, but never managed to get it to germinate, no matter what I tried.
I'm working on apple seeds again (I had about a half-dozen or so from a few years ago) to give away or sell next spring.
That Plum does still look like a peach tree, similar leaves for sure, but we'll see as it progresses. Great series! Can't wait to see the Avocado when the temperature warms up enough for it outdoors.
Cheers! Happy growing!
Hey Rob, thank so much for the update ! I have the same issue with ons off my lemon tree growing from seed . The litlle tree is the same height as the other ones, but the leaves are 3 times smaller as all the other trees ! But as you said: you never know with store bought fruit seeds what it's going to be! Thnx again and hope you doing fine and see you soon!
Healthy looking plum tree you got there Rob
They look great
Thank you Naqualix!
I've just started getting into gardening this year with my first round of seedling growing indoors. Have been learning most of my information from RUclips and your channel is by far my favourite gardening channel! I have binged so many of your 'growing from seed' playlists and cant wait for updates on all of them! Hoping my veggies I grow this year in containers turn out!
kathryn w Thank you so much and happy gardening - it’s so fun!
Very awesum. Thank you. 💛💚💛
Very cool Rob👍 Thanks for sharing buddy 👍👍👍👍
Hey Rob! I'm going to be starting Dates! Can't wait to see how it goes.. I did a bit of research on them, maybe something for you to give a try? I'll let you know if they sprout!
Great episode, once again 👍
I have an apricot tree grown from seed that was sown straight into the ground here in Sweden 🇸🇪 . I will make a video and publish on my channel, at the end of the year. Completely hands off, without any pruning whatsoever. Once again, a great series 👍🤠
Hell yeah! 14th comment. Love all your series Rob! I live in Texas too and will be buying my first home later this year or early next year and can't wait to start my garden. Thanks to you, I feel inspired to garden again. Thank you!
love9boy yay! Congrats on your home!!!
I wanna see more every Day or every 2 days
Man that plum tree is looking great! Im always wondering how you find room for all these trees hahaha
Magic Shane 😂 it’s jam packed!
Hello
I actually had a plum tree from seed flower after two years believe it or not. Still no fruit though in it's fourth year. More flowers though and it's pretty for about a week
What state are you in? This is interesting. Thanks!
Dallas, Texas
Very nice for Texas. Peaches grow wild in Pennsylvania.
Have a question anybody's welcome to answer it someone gave me 40 terracotta pots some of them are new and some of them are old is there a process for terracotta pots? I was told that you have to boil them to remove pesticides and stuff like that?
Interesting. I've never heard of boiling them.
I don’t think it’s necessary but if you’re concerned about pesticides and are wanting to be fully organic in your approach then I say boil them.
Hey Rob, you ever thought of getting PawPaws?? I'm going to be ordering a couple of saplings (3+ feet tall) as I'd love to get some more.. RARER fruit here.
You've got an amazing yard!
Mike B I haven’t tried them ever - are they good?
@@RobBackyardGardenerr no idea! Never found them around here. Only ones I have found are growing in a local nursery. They grow from Florida up to southern Canada, so I thought I'd give them a try! Figured with your Texas weather they should do really well!
They're sensitive when young, but become Hardy as they get older.. apparently they have a custard like texture..
@@RobBackyardGardenerr They say they're like a mix between banana, mango, and pineapple, though I haven't had one myself. They're native to the eastern half of the U.S., so that's pretty cool as well, and they're the largest fruit native to North America. They don't store/ship well which is why you don't find them in stores. I just got myself 8 young Pawpaws so we'll see how it goes.
@@baddriversofcolga OMG!!! I'm so freakin jelly!! AAAHH!! Congrats! I can't wait to finally get mine.. I've just not yet got them... I need to before the heat gets here..
@@demcomp Haha, thanks! I'm really looking forward to the day when they fruit, though that'll probably be a while. Nonetheless...
Rob post more updates when you are going to do something
Yassssssssssss! All the plums lol i wanna grow my own but i dunno if they do well in wisconsin > H
Waffles Mc Syrupy they should. They enjoy cooler zones.
Absolutely they'll do awesome in WIsconsin! Check out the HARDINESS ZONES of plants and it'll give you an idea of what plants will survive the winters. I'm here in Canada (Zone 5b-6) and we have Plum Trees (Not myself, but my grandparents' old property they had in Toronto had Plums). So you shouldn't have any issues with Plums..
Great! Thank you both 8V
the plum trees in my garden withstand -15°C and up to 6months of snow here in the german alps no problem.
try to get seeds from plum trees in your area.
Avocado and citrus updates on the way?
Growing To Live yes - after Mango tomorrow
Yo, I just got 1st comment
Thank you!
Update?
