Please advise me on my plum tree which has not fruited this year and the
leaves have holes in them?

The plum tree on our allotments hasn't fruited this year either and only
one of our 4 cherries, the later flowered one, had a decent crop. I
believe it was because there were no insects about when they flowered
they they didn't get pollinated.


Thank you. We did get a lot of bees - which I hadn't seen for a very
long time - but I think they were too late. I do have some apples
(James Grieve) but not too many. Down to weather do you suppose?


I am a beekeeper so no problem with pollinators. I just
didn't get any flowers!


Ahh that throws THAT theory out of the window then I didn't get any
flowers at all either. Was it exceptionally cold?
