Plum Tree

Hello Monty,
My only nugget of wisdom is that plum trees need to be pruned after they fruit, but still in the growing season, to protect them from ? "bleeding" sap or whatever. Gives them a chance to sort themselves out before shutting down for colder season.
Sorry to be a bit vague on details. I'm sure others on here will give more expert advice!
Maybe when pruning - consider the poor tree not having to carry so much weight next time? Or pick off poorer or diseased fruit. Or organise a prop or support for your tree.

Reference: very good local radio's weekly gardening show, Reg Moule.

Some plums tend to fruit on a biennial cycle so could be that your tree will do better this year.

Thanks for the advice yes will not let it carry so much next time.Yes normally has a good second year.

Thank you for the comments on my garden pictures and the welcome to growsonyou..
