Growing a Plum Tree From Seed - 27 Months Old
HTML-код

- How to grow Plum Trees from seed series!
This update is at the tree's 27 month mark. In the last video, he was 19 months old and I had just planted him into the ground 3 months prior, from a pot. Looks like the acclimation process (transplant shock) is over and done with and he is really starting to take off now - reaching up to more than 8 feet tall!
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 you on what happened to his companion tree (the one that looked like a peach tree oddly enough).
Notes:
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!

I love keeping up with these! Can’t wait to see when the fruit starts sprouting!
Can’t wait for an update for the plum tree
Robs back!!!!!! Excited to see all the updates this summer!
In glad I found this video. I just bought a piece of land and saw some budding trees this spring that I didn't recognize. As soon as I saw your plum tree, I thought, "that sure looks an awful lot like my little trees." I hope I'm right. Cool video.
Wow looking forward to flowers
I did not expect it to be that big given just 27 months.
I planted some plum seeds 38 months ago, it is already starting to flower which I also didn’t expect.
Great updates worth watching
I know the pain of losing plants. I lost several in one of my greenhouses during an extra cold night. All we can do is replant/reseed. At least I made a video about it.
I miss your videos! Keep them coming! Thanks for the updates. I’ve been following you for years
Lora S Thank you Lora!
Update on the peach flower soon please. I enjoy these videos seriously, so I am growing me own from seed and it’s a good progress seeing.
Thumbs up Rob!!! cant wait to see fruits on it!
Cool video dude I loved the series
Hey Rob, "This Bud's For You!" Very cool video again.
I just binge watched the whole journey of this plum tree lol. Thanks for sharing! I found a plum tree off the side of a city road this weekend and saved the seeds. How interesting to think it is at least 4 years old!
Really enjoy your gardening videos Rob. Can't wait to see some fruit!
Awwww. I was so curious about the plum/peach. I really wanted to see it flower and grow strawberries or something else completely unexpected.
That makes me sad that the peachplum died.. so unfortunate!
I hope my PawPaws put on more growth this yeah (if they break their buds and aren't dead from the winter...)
At least that Plum is doing well!
It makes me sad too... By the time I saw that the branches were dying, it was too late to save it. I wish I had checked it a week earlier...
@@RobBackyardGardenerr it happens. It's possible that there may have been nothing you could do. Similar to my Jade Crabapple and Apricot tree. Both got some disease, not sure what... The branches shriveled and were weeping sap.. I've never been able to find out what the disease was either 😕
Its the oddities that are really interesting. Pity it croaked on us.
Find your seed to tree videos interesting. I can't wait to see your citrus update. Found you after I started my lemon and oranges from seed. I think they are about a year behind yours "June 2018".
I planted plum trees from seed , currently have two that are just short of 2 years old . The bigger of the 2 started flowering in November and was full of flowers in December. Unfortunately although I saw small fruits all dropped off. The smaller tree had just one flower. I am excited because where I live we have summer all year round. From what I read , it was not possible for the tree to flower without going through chilling hours. I also have nectarine trees that are flowering as well .
Hi Rob. I’m a new sub & have watched a few of your videos, particularly the seed transplanting ones.
Could you make a series for newbies like me with small garden spaces? I’d love to see a how-to from beginning to end for popular edibles like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers & herbs. (Maybe lettuce too)
Cause I need a lot of help!! Help!!! 😊
I’m curious to see your technique for starting seeds, watering, lighting, temperature, fertilizing, compost, planning, planting outside, spacing, harvesting, end of season clean up, etc. I’d like to see exactly how you make your potting soil for germinating seedlings and for transplanting & how you prepare outdoor soil.
Thank you for sharing. Love your videos!
Always enjoyed rob keep on rockin
Thanks Donald!
So jealous Rob you got tomatoes in ground in South Eastern Illinois zone 6 a we're still a couple months away 🦇🌻🐓👍
Bill Higgins I’ve got tons of tomatoes and peppers in the ground - we get early springs here and late winters but the summers are very hot and many plants stop their flowers in the mid year months.
I hope the Citrus Tree is the Next Update..
Thanks for the update, I’m looking forward to the next one. Question: Is it okay to plant a plum tree that close to your house, or do you plan on relocating it at some point?
Rob your plum tree is a beauty i love it!! I watched your mango from seed vid and you have inspired me to grow my own. It's has sprouted and i'm excited, how is yours doing?
Cora Ruiz I’ll be updating that tree shortly. Thank you Cora!
I love these grown from seeds series! That's too bad that the mystery plum tree died. Do you think it was a plum hybridized with a Chickasaw plum? Chickasaw plums are widespread in the southern U.S. and they have narrow long leaves, in fact, their scientific name is Prunus angustifolia, angusti=narrow, folia=leaf.
Rodrigo Zepeda I bet it was... I wish I could have saved it.
Can you please upload video at 1080p resolution. It's kinda like a standard now. Just saying cause it just feels weird
Hello, I can’t find any updates on the avocado tree since the frost killed most of it. Would be great to see now 10 months on!
sup rob how are your mango trees doing?
I noticed the owls along the walkway. Do they actually work? We have a ton of squirrels and rabbits in our neighborhood, and I’m always looking to effective ways to deter them.
Hey I know this is an old video maybe you could help? I’ve been growing a plum tree from seed since 2016. I’ve went to college from then and it’s been in my parents backyard. Nothing special about the soil. I must say your plum tree at 27 months is far more bigger than mine is! Mines putting out branches and leads and I’ve been training it since. It’s about 5 foot tall now but still juvenile. I’m thinking it’s a nutrient imbalance that’s not encouraging growth. Could you give me some wisdom?
I'm in upstate New York. Can a plum tree handle cold winters. Possibly -20 for a night although zero in January is common.
Is this the plum tree that you topped at as a seedling? Or is it the one you didn’t? I have a baby Apple and plum tree and one is getting tall, I want it bushy, but not If I will kill it if I top it now
How’s it doing now?
When do you move him away from the house, to prevent brick burn. Houses are very bad for trees, as well as the roots destroying the foundation.
William findspennies I have limited space William so it’s either use what I have or don’t plant trees. I plan on keeping the trees by the house shorter and am keeping the soil moist furthest from the foundation as best as possible. Luckily, fruit tree roots are not as concerning as other types of trees.
My garden is full of snails which look like Malaysian trumpet snails .
I'm tired of taking a lot of them from single pot everyday . Tried
different methods of using neem spray , turmeric water etc., but no use.
Any suggestions ?
Meena meenu as much as I hate to say it, is try snail poison. I don’t have snail problems where I’m at but I know it works. Or you can try the buried beer cans with water method - makes little drowning pools around the base of your plants.
@@RobBackyardGardenerr Thanks for the reply . will try . Stay safe and healthy ! :)
So I imagine no chance of this happening in Colorado?anyone?
Try grafting or airlayering
Which hardiness zone are you in please?
SO WHICH PLUM TREE MADE IT..TOPPED OR NO TOPPED...HAVING TROUBLE FINDING THIS IN THE VID :)
Ight where is the update?
How did this tree do this year?
Growing huge!
Rob, you always bad-mouthed about the "Buddy", that's what caused Buddy to get heart broken and dead, poor guy!
Awe... Poor "peach" tree..
