Hi. We just moved to this area in November. Before we moved in, the grounds were very neglected. There are two trees here that we were told are plums. They have trunks about 5 or 6" in diameter and are at least 20 feet tall. They are very busy with lots of little branches coming out from the bottom. I'm afraid we have no idea what variety they are and have never grown plums before.
My question is "What the heck do we do with them?" Should they be pruned? Cut right back? Thinned out? If we leave them at the height they currently are, how the heck would we ever harvest any fruit at the top? What size are they supposed to be?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Anne
