It seems like the actual incidence of disease in <i>P. mume</i> specifically is pretty low, so I wouldn't be all that concerned.

Yes, now that I've worked with them they are much more apricot-y in feel, too. <br /><br />Is it very susceptible to disease?Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-4222619144877503422016-05-17T13:52:09.417-04:002016-05-17T13:52:09.417-04:00Fabulous link, Jake, thank you!

My ume are in sugar already, but I am totally doing her next step, once I have the syrup (100 days! the suspense...).<br /><br />I feel I owe you a comment for a previous interesting comment you left...scratches head.

I literally stare at this little fruit's DNA sequence every day, looking for genes to protect it from disease, and didn't expect to find it here on your blog today. We think of it as a plum, though genetically it's more like an apricot. The diversity in the genus <i>Prunus</i> is truly staggering, and I learn so much every day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532403180123519635noreply@blogger.com
