On March 12th, I shared this picture of the Santa Rosa plum tree in Quincy Park. Yesterday, I took another shot of the tree.
It is now full of plums, that will soon ripen to a beautiful deep burgundy color. We are looking forward to having a handy snack as we take Quincy for a walk.
Happy Wednesday!
Great comparison of the pphotos, those plums look as if they will be nice and juicy if the birds leave them alone.

Boy do I ever love plums off a tree. Mom always took care of them of them in our backyard.

Hi Ron & Alexandra - Nice to look forward to some ripe plums. We have a plum, but it's just an ornamental one - no fruit : (

Dorie Dillard Thank you so much for your kind words, we appreciate them. Ron was suggesting that I take a picture of when they are ripe and ready to eat in one bite. They are so delicious and last for an instant. A
Joe Pryor They go fast around here, as this particular plum tree does not have a long ripening season. They will be ripe by mid of next month, and be done. A
Nick & Trudy Vandekar, 610-203-4543 The birds have not noticed this tree for a while now. They have lots of other things to go for. When we lived in Los Angeles, we had a Santa Rosa plum, a nectarine tree and a peach tree. We had to net those so we could get some fruit.
Debe Maxwell, CRS our job is to admire Mother Nature's handiwork, and savor the ripe plums that show up. Wishing you a great rest of the week. A

Thank you! You as well!
Good morning A. I bet they will be full of flavor when the time comes, enjoy.
Sweet plums, I haven't one in such a long time. I like it when they are that really dark burgundy shade inside and out.

Santa Rosa plums are my favorites. I can imagine once ripe, at that location, they won't last long.

Thank you very much for sharing your photographs.
Have an outstanding week.
Hi Alexandra and Ron -- nature doing what it does best...one day at a time.
Some good flowers can really brighten the day of anybody who gets them and this should be no different! :)
Wow, that doesn't seem to do your picture of the blue sky behind your Plum Tree Justice Ron and Alexandra Seigel
