Example text
Forcing plum twigs to bloom early indoors is a well-known practice. In my tests, 'Purple Pony', 'Newport', 'Trailblazer', and 'Vesuvius' proved inferior. As a general guide, select stout twigs with many flower buds; when the buds swell, mash one end of each twig and insert it in warm or hot water. Waiting ten days to two weeks may be necessary before the flowers open, so be sure to change the water when it turns murky. The leaf and flower colors are paler on forced twigs than on twigs left on the tree.
The leaves go on to make their gloomy, mud-purple splashes which disfigure every street and park for the rest of the summer (Mitchell 1985, 78). The common variety is Pissard's purple plum, 'Pissardii' found in Iran in 1880. Its fuzzy crown is a shapeless mass of twigs and its foliage, a brownish-red or muddy purple, casts gloom over huge areas of suburbs from south Ontario to Illinois and New York. It is pleasantly scarce southwards, in the Mississippi Valley and the midwest, but there are bad infestations in Houston and Amarillo, Texas, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Page 17 Wichita, Kansas and Ames, Iowa, also near Omaha, Nebraska (Mitchell 1987, 78).
In fact, the time of full bloom in one year can be an entire month later in the next year. A typical tree will be quite full and pretty for at least a week-and-a-half or two, and can be seen with some open flowers for a month. This is a leisurely pace contrasted to continental climates where the explosion of spring is relatively concentrated and brief, resulting in a fast burst of glorious awakening. In parts of England, two problems bother cherry plum blossoms, which usually appear a month before those of other plum blossoms.
