Pluot fruiting

[realfood]

My pluot (plum-apricot cross) has set fruit for the first time this year, two years since planting. It is always exciting with a new fruit!!
It is absolutely hardy having easily survived the last two Winters. It flowers very early, about two weeks before the plums.
It is proving rather vigorous, needing a lot of pruning on the supplied rootstock St Julian.
Is anyone else growing this fruit and how reliable have you found it?

I have planted one of these on my alotment last month, I fancied trying something differant, so would be interested to here if the tree has still got the fruit after all the high winds over the last week or two, also what food you are using, I am using a liquid seaweed on all my fruit.
