Growing a Plum Tree from Seed - 51 Month Update

Growing a Plum Tree from Seed - 51 Month Update How to grow Plum Trees from seed series! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKJSapt21HvWuC8ty0PDsM7Z2EZg_db8h This update is at the tree's 51 month mark. In the last video, he was 39 months old and I had just planted him into the ground 2 years prior, from a pot. He is really starting to take off now - reaching up to more than 14 feet tall! I am super excited to see how this plum tree progresses over the next several growing months!

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. I am excited to see how these plum trees grow over the next several months.
