Planted these 2 Ume bareroot whips last Feb. Both were trunk-chopped to around 24” (for a smaller garden tree).
The much bigger one (1st pic) is a white ume, and the small one is a pink ume (idk exact variety).
When received in the mail, the white ume had a bigger trunk caliper (around 7/8-1”) and much bigger denser rootball.
The pink ume had a thinner trunk, maybe 3/8-5/8” at most, and a few major/thicker root strands (with feeder roots of course), but not as big as the white ume (it had maybe 1/3-1/2 the rootball mass of the bigger white ume).
My concern is… why is my pink ume so small compared, stopped growing after Spring, and not growing vigorously like the white ume?
The white ume continues to grow big to this day; the pink, stopped growing a couple months ago already.
As you can see from the 1st pic, the white is massive already and continues to grow.
They are both in full sun all day:
The white ume is in my front yard (east side of house), next to a south facing wall.
The pink ume is in the back-yard (west side of house), also next to a south facing wall.
Both next to south facing walls, but since the pink ume is in the west side of house, it gets a little more sunlight.
I’ve read (on Evergreen Gardenworks) that non-white and red varieties are slower growing and not as hardy. Could that be the reason why it is smaller?
Or, is the reason its’ initial trunk caliper and root mass?
I am also concerned of that leaf curl (pictured)… but I’ve read somewhere here that leaf-curl is normal for an Ume and that just indicates blossoms for next year.
I don’t see any insects/pests under the leaves or anywhere. But, the tips are starting to brown.
Also, no leaf-drop at all, so that seems healthy.
Lastly, I am also concerned for this Nanking Cherry.
It’s in a 3gal nursery pot, also located in full all day sun in west side of house (I assume fruits plants like full sun).
It was super healthy and vigorous during spring and early summer. Very lush and green. All of those long branches are new growth from this spring.
But, a lot of the leaf tips/edges are blackening and crisping up as time goes on. There’s also some larger chomping marks on them (caterpillar or grasshopper -like).
I don’t see any small insects/pests under the leaves or anywhere else. Just black leaf tips and edges.
In the center of the plant (last pictures), new lush green growths are appearing again, which look healthy and pest free.
Anyone know what’s wrong with it?
Any help greatly appreciated!
