Care Guide- Apply a slow-release fertiliser such as blood, fish & bone in early spring, & mulch to retain moisture.- For the biggest, juiciest plums, thin the fruits in May by removing some of the smaller, immature fruits. Then in July, while the plums are still hard, remove any that are damaged or diseased or touching others.- Water regularly, & don't let the soil dry out if planted in pots.- Hang wasp traps in trees & harvest crops as soon as they ripen. Avoid leaving windfalls or over-ripe fruit on the ground.- Prune trees in late in July when they're in full growth. For young trees, take back the new upright growth by about a third. For older, mature trees, remove any dead, diseased or dying branches & then prune the older branches hard to promote productivity, aiming for an overall goblet shape. Planting Time: October
