Best of all you can do things in a certain way and never need to trim the trees.

Yes, with plums you can leave the fruit on the tree to dry naturally and they become self pruning,

Ian, that was just for you

I like the roadside wild plum thickets.
They are great for jelly and I don’t have to do anything except help the Boss pick them!

I had a Stanley Dwarf plum for years.... You just had to be quick harvesting them! If there are squirrels around they always know which ones are ripe! A constant fight! Unfortunately it scummed to a Canker disease & I never saw it coming! Had to cut it down and burn the tree as well as the stump! It was that contagious ( we live in the northeast so I'm not sure if it is area dependent)

why didn't you say sumthin.
i dig out at least a dozen baby plum starts every spring. [last year it was over 50]

maybe not next spring though, the neighbors trees got sawz all treated again this spring,, which will just leave me the root sprouts to deal with.
i got my own Plum trees to deal with i don't need hers too... no matter how good the jam is.
