Where the hell is my posting? I can't see it

You posted to it so it must have been there!!

Check out this pollination chart - any box with an 'X' in across from the Brookgold listing will be an appropriate pollination partner. I'd pick another plum so you would have fruiting from both.

I cannot see the chart when I click on the link. I am not sure if others can.

ETA the following is from a web page and is somewhat helpful.

Salicina plum cultivars (or Asian plums) are usually very hardy, with good tasting fruit that has a short shelf life. Some examples are the 'Ptitsin' series, 'Brookgold', 'Green Elf', 'Fofonoff' (also called 'Homesteader') and 'Ivanovka'. These plums will pollinate other plums of the same type only, and can be pollinated by either other salicina cultivars or wild plums.

The salicina hybrids were developed by crossing native wild plums with plum varieties from California that were not hardy, producing hardy trees with good quality fruit. These include 'Pembina' (sometimes called 'Prairie', 'Acme' or 'Elite'), 'Patterson Pride', 'Brookred', 'Geddes' and 'Perfection' (sometimes known as 'Superb'). These hybrids will only produce fruit if they are pollinated by a wild plum, and they do not provide pollination for any type of plum, including each other. This may explain why some growers have poor fruit production with these trees.

Try again.....it works for me.

Link works for me too.

Search: "hybrid plums" "wild plums"

The first hit (pdf file) on the list from a university (fruit.usask.ca) would explain everything on a proven basis. Please don't rely on the link above from the gal. It goes to a place that is totally false about what they are saying.

The first time the link said page error, it works for me now. Plum pollination, as I have found out, can be complicated.

last weekend, I bought same type of plum tree too (BrookGold Plum) - after some research, you need to get "Nanking Cherry" tree as a pollinator or other type of plum...

i attached a link..

Brook Gold and Brook Red I found to be a real tough one to pollinate....no matter what pollen you throw at lol. Still trying...click to enlarge.

Konrad, have you got any fruit so far? How many years have you planted your brook gold?

Funny thing about Brook gold pollination is that my sister in law gets some pretty good fruit every year. She has no nankings, no other plums and lives a mile from anyone else. She does, however, have an Evans cherry, wild pin cherry and wild chokecherry. So by the chart the pin cherry must be the pollinator.

Well...a long story, planted close to 20 years ago, about 5 years after I've seen the first few plums on both, never many..a handful or so, I always have wild pin cherry close by and didn't seem to madder, think they don't flower the same time, also have a hard time to believe it actually works.

In the meantime, both trees a moose destroyed most of it, on the new growth I've been grafting over some, think the brook is still there and it's a madder of time when I'll see fruit again.

I just planted my brook gold this year. I will see how it goes, but I don't expect too much....

Just wondering...why would anybody plant a Brook plum when your zone allows some pretty fancy, [and a lot better] European plums to thrive which don't need extra pollination, [self fruitful]. Vancouver gets more rain and more humid for some of these stone fruits to do well, perhaps the Brook does better??

I hadn't done research before I bought Brook Gold. I regret very much now. I should have bought a European variety.

I will take some pictures this year, the tree is large and I think with a full fruit load there would be tonnes of fruit. I am not sure how many she gets, she does dry some and eats some fresh so way more than a handful.

I wonder if it could be that she is extremely sheltered, fairly high up a hill and the possibility of late spring frosts is low. Her tree is not in flower yet just buds,so hopefully she will miss the late frosts this year.
