I also have a nectaplum which seems a little more resistant to peach leaf curl than regular nectarines and peaches.Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-75558943490263228742012-01-20T20:15:30.001-08:002012-01-20T20:15:30.001-08:00I love pluots.

I'd love to have a fruit tree. My son once bit into an apple to find its seeds had sprouted. We planted them in a pot and they grew! They ended up as apple trees in the backyard but the owners after us cut them down. It was fun while it lasted. :o)Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791015846743839791.post-56905759191040766622012-01-08T13:13:16.609-08:002012-01-08T13:13:16.609-08:00How exciting!

You can tell by observing different varieties grown in a field or a garden, or by doing research on the internet :).
