Prunus domestica

Usually, I show you how it ended, with nice flowers (sometimes) and polished pot (sometimes). Now let me show you how it starts. This is most probably Prunus domestica or Mirabelle plum. This particular one was collected in spring 2018 by myself. New branches grown ut to one meter long during 2019 season, cut back once. 
It is rough, there is a long way to go, usually about 5-10 years. A lot of works, a couple of repotings, rootwork, wiring every year during the next 5 years. Obviously, stumps need to be carved, and it will be done next week. 
Despite it is rough on pictures now, the pot is dirty and its future is uncertain I know what needs to be done and I have a vision of its better future. It will require a lot of work and the patience and grain of luck as well, but it could be done. It will be a much better picture in a few years from now. I promise.

  1. SAKRA. Moc bych Ti/si přál, aby to byla P. domestica. Ta báze je skvělá.

    Déšť a rostliny: Pořád mi vrtá v hlavě, proč rostliny tak pozitivně reagují na déšť ie viditelným přírůstkem biomasy.
    Poprvé jsem si toho všiml tak před 2 lety. Faktem ale je, že tohle mi máma a babička před mnoha a mnoha lety říkaly, jenže tehdy jsem měl docela jiné starosti a zájmy. Dohledal jsem celou řadu teorií a pár studií, ale chybí to základní: využití pro pěstování. Letos plánuji provzdušňování minerály obohacené zálivkové vody - zálivka na list:)

    agree with Dr. Paul Reed and Dr. Abdul Ghafoor regarding (i) thermoelectrical fixation of gaseous Nitrogen and transfer into the crop/soil; and (ii) cleaning of leaf surfaces with rain water that helps improve physiological processes (photosynthesis, respiration etc) in favor of plant growth. Rain water contains good amount of N, which we found almost equivalent to floodwater N content of rice field after topdressing of urea. The rain water around urban/industrial areas should also be enriched in S. This N and S enriched rain water works as N and S containing liquid fertilizer. It is known that liquid fertilizers work more effectively on broad leaved plants than narrow leaved plants. Most of the ornamental plants are broad leaved plants. So, the rain water should be more effective for broad leaves ornamental plants than narrow leaved rice, wheat or other field crops.

    1. No, je to mirabelka asi. Okruhle plody, bud cisto zlte alebo cervene, neviem aka bude tato. Neviem ci je to domestica ale tak som dedukoval. Cerasifera je asi iny druh, ze?

    2. V téhle sekci prunusek docela plavu. A jsem rád, že v tom nejsem sám. Myrobalán-P. cerasifera kvete brzo na jaře. V mém okolí ve stejné době jako trnky P. spinosa. Prunus domestica a její poddruhy tj. P.domestica syriaca (mirabelka ) kvetou později. Odlišit mirabelku od myrobalánu neumím...
      Vloni jsem vykopal klasickou švestku P.domestica (počkal jsem si na plody:), abych měl jistotu, že nekopu myrobalán ) a rád bych našel ještě nějakou...
