Plum Tree Sap and some Lichen
Apr 24, 2024 06:42:53 #
I have three fruit trees that usually do OK to fantastic as far as producing fruit goes, an apple tree which is the real producer and gives me a what seem to be a couple of million great pie apples, an Italian plum tree what does fairly well and a cherry tree which is a sporadic producer of what look like Rainier cherries. But all of the trees are filled with holes, bark falling off and huge cracks in the exterior which have me wonder why they all have not toppled over by now.
This sap is from the Italian plum tree. I have been looking at it for years now and just yesterday thought about photographing it. Too busy I guess. The lichen, I believe that is what it is, is also on the plum tree.

I hope you don't lose those trees, Dennis. Nice set.
Thank you. Most likely I won’t. When I get money ahead I need to get them pruned. I also have a huge pine tree I want cut down. I know that will be pricey.

Nice photos, Dennis! That Cherry tree needs a pollinator tree near it! It will produce MUCH better. When you plant the pollinator tree, look into "Orchard Bees". They are tiny metallic blue bees and are about 75% better pollinators than the bigger bees. It worked great for me in Washington State!

Thanks Chief. The cherry tree was doing well according to neighbors when I would only come to Idaho to hunt and fish. I think Robins took their share. But last year probably because I am here full time now not one cherry came forth. Sounds like a biblical saying doesn't it? I will look into a pollinator tree at some point and Orchard bees.
I think there is a house for sale a couple of blocks away you might be interested in.

I'm interested already without details! The question is, would Judy be interested? Is it on a listing somewhere?

You're lucky to have three different fruit trees. Nice set of images. If you watch that sap a little bit longer, like several million years, you'll have amber with maybe a bug in it.
