Plums at Last! 2023




We planted 2 plum trees 40 years ago and never saw more than a handful of fruit each year despite clouds of white blossomed each Spring. The trees multiplied from their roots and looked healthy but just didn’t produce the plums for us. A couple years ago we learned that plums have to be pollinated by a different species of plum so we planted a new type of plum tree. The following year the new tree produced a dozen juicy yellow coloured plums but no change with the original red plums. We sort of gave up and stopped checking. The next August we were were shocked to notice trees full of plums!
