去年の夏に鉢植えの大雪棗（スーパージャイアント）の枝を、地植えの新疆棗王に高接ぎしました。４か所のうち３か所が無事に越冬して、いまは直径１ミリくらいの小さな蕾が出ています。大実品種とはいっても鉢植えではまともなサイズの実が生ったことがないので、今年からは地植えパワーを発揮してほしいです。
I grafted 4 scions of a jujube called 'Super Giant' onto the Xinjian Jujube in the garden. Super Giant is supposed to produce large fruits, as large as those of Xinjian Jujube, but not a single fruit with the plant growing in a pot. Out of the 4 grafting, 3 survived the winter and they are now growing fast. The Xinjian Jujube produced decent-sized fruits last year and I am hoping to see a similar result from Super Giant.
The plum trees are having a rest this year and I can see not so many young fruits. Still, I am looking forward to these fruits on Elephant Heart which produces very delicious plums.
スダチ苗を遠近で観察していたら、タイガが無言で「かまって」アピール。
種無しスダチも、去年の鈴なりのあと今年は花が少な目です。
Seedless Sudachi also had abundant fruits last year and it is now having a rest this year.
As I was looking into the Sudach plant, Taiga had crept up hoping to get my attention.
そこで、買ってきたばかりのミニトマト苗を横においてカメラを向けたら何とか１枚撮れました。ミニトマトはどれも同じな印象ですが、今年のは「千果」という名前ので、甘くて豊産性だそうです。
So I placed the miniature tomato plant that I bought this morning and got a shot.
