**Lee** · July 13, 2013

I've got three plants growing.
One in the garden, one in a pot I just haven't planted yet, and a late planter in another garden bed.

Blight or bacterial spec/spot seems to be pretty prevalent in the garden this year, so I'll have to take good notes on its performance.

First reaction though is somewhat disappointing. It's determinate, and
has stopped setting fruit. I'm not sure if the numbers are going to
justify keeping it long term though. At least plum regal was a fruit producing machine with great disease tolerance. (Of course it wasn't very good tasting, but that's for another thread.....)
