  • Plums on the Prairies by Rick Sawatzky
    Plums on the Prairies by Rick Sawatzky Information from Literature Much has been published about pollination, pollinators, pollinizers, fertilization and fruit set in text books and periodicals. The definitions are not difficult. Pollination is the movement of pollen among compatible flowering plants (cross-pollination) or from anthers to stigmas on the same plant or different plants of the same clone (self-pollination). Many plants will self-pollinate but set very few fruit; some authors consider them self- pollinating but they are definitely not self-fruitful. Self-fruitful plants (and clones) set a crop of fruit after self-pollination; some of these plants bear fruit with no seeds (parthenocarpy); others develop seeds with embryos that are genetically identical to the parent plant (apomixis); and others produce haploid seeds that develop from an unfertilized egg cell. (When haploid seeds germinate they are very weak seedlings with only half the chromosomes of normal seedlings.) Regarding temperate zone tree fruits, self-pollination and fruit set does not mean self-fertility and the development of normal seeds. Many temperate zone small fruit species (e.g. strawberries and raspberries) are self-fertile and develop maximum yields of fruit with normal seeds as the result of self-pollination by insects. Pollinators, usually insects, are vectors of pollen movement. Pollinizers are plants which provide the appropriate pollen for other plants. Fertilization is the process in which gametes from the pollen unite with egg cells in the ovary of the flower. Normal seeds are usually the result of this process. Also, the principles are easily understood. Poor fertilization in plums and other Prunus species results in a poor fruit set.

Chinese Apricot (Prunus armeniaca ‘Chinese’) • An early-bearing variety that is ideal for difficult climates prone to late spring frosts. • Mildly fragrant, early white blooms open from pink buds. • Fruit is medium in size and sweet. Self-fertile. • 15’ height, 10’ spread; max. elevation 6,000 ft. Montmorency Cherry (Prunus cerasus ‘Montmorency’) • The finest sour or pie cherry. A heavy annual bearer, the average yield for a mature tree is 36–44 pints; self-pollinating. • A vigorous tree with upright, spreading branches and a rounded crown, it bears fruit at a young age. • Late bloom means a more dependable production of fruit; ripens in June or early July. • 15’ height and 10’ spread; max. elevation 7,500 ft. Redhaven Peach (Prunus persica ‘Redhaven’) • Developed in Michigan, this variety has become the gold standard for peaches, replacing Elberta as the most versatile and widely grown. • Regular high yields make this one of the best home garden peaches. • Vulnerable to late spring damage due to early bloom time, ripens mid-August. • 15’ height and 12’ spread; max.

Patterns of Floral Bud Development in Canes of Erect and Trailing Blackberries Fumiomi Takeda1 U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Appalachian Fruit Research Station, 45 Wiltshire Road, Kearneysville, WV 25430 Bernadine C.

Clark Department of Horticulture, 316 Plant Science Building, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR 72701 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. floral primordia, floricane, inflorescence, microscopy, Rubus ABSTRACT. Flower bud development was studied in ‘Cherokee’, ‘Boysen’, and ‘Marion’ blackberries (Rubus subgenus Rubus Watson). In ‘Cherokee’ (erect type), the transition to reproductive development in buds on the branch canes occurred during September in Arkansas and Oregon. Transitions of buds in the axils of the most basal nodes (proximal to the main cane) and the most distal nodes lagged behind buds in the midsection (about nodes 6 to 10). Along the midsection of branch canes, the buds developed uniformly. In buds of ‘Boysen’ and ‘Marion’ (trailing type), the transition to reproductive development occurred in October and sepal primordia were observed in most buds examined by November. Progression of floral bud development continued into January, but at a slower rate than in autumn. Buds on the main canes (>3 m long) of ‘Boysen’ and ‘Marion’ remained at a more advanced stage of flower bud differentiation than buds on the basal branch canes. In both cultivars, buds from the middle one-third section, and sometimes buds from the bottom one-third section, tended to be more advanced than those buds in the top one-third section during much of the sampling period.
