Intellectually, I know that the trees will be mature someday... but I just have so much trouble believing it! More fruit than I know what to do with? It's inconceivable! I've spent most of my life carefully savoring and rationing the fruit that I buy, because it's usually so expensive.
It would be hard to find a fruit that I *don't* love, except for maybe apricots. And I'll eat just about any kind of jam, so I don't think disposing of extra fruit will be a problem -- plus I could always sell it, if there was a truly overwhelming amount.
Apricots, pluots, Asian plums, and sweet cherries are out of the running, because our variable winter/spring weather causes them to bloom too early. But that still leaves apples and pears and European plums and nectarines and tart cherries and a whole bunch of oddball things like mayhaws and shipovas and quinces and the list goes on! And I want them ALL! *g*
So do the multi-grafted trees actually work out well? I always wondered if they were just a gimmick....
