Excerpt from Plum Pollination

The yield records for these trees which are available for the years 1915, 1916, and 1917, show some further interesting facts. The first three varieties, which as a rule are the first to blossom each spring, show a comparatively low yield record. Combination yielded at the average rate of 83, 24, and 20 pounds per tree for the three years, giving an average of 42 pounds per tree resulting from a set of per cent. Kelsey gave a consistent average yield of 46, and 30 pounds, or a total average of 38.1'pounds for three years from an average set of 9 per cent. No great difference in yield followed in 1917 as the result of the low percentage of set. Satsuma produced an average yield per tree of and 60 pounds, or a total average of for the years 1915 and 1917. These yields resulted from an average normal set of per cent. The foregoing varieties blossom very early and the yields thus far can only be considered fair from a commercial point of view.
