Argh! I forgot to special-order fruit trees again...

Cut-off for Dave Wilson Nursery (DWN) special orders was in late November. Dang it, dang it, dang it. I could have pre-ordered a few varieties and then picked 'em up at my local nursery (see DWN website).

I know I'm not going to find what I'm looking for now because I'm looking for a plumcot... and DWN lists what each nursery ordered on its website and I don't see any plumcots. Oh, they'll all have Pluots and Apriums coming out of their ears, but plumcots? Nada, zilch, zip. Why a plumcot? Because I once tasted an unbelievably fabulous one and for all the raving I hear about Pluots, I've never... ever... tasted one as good as that perfect plumcot.

I am still planning to install several trees in one hole, a la DWN, but may have to resort to mail order and desperate nursery-wanderings. I'm sure I'll find a few nifty dwarf/semi-dwarf fruit varieties, but oh, the elusive plumcot.
