Hi Tiger,
If your tree looks well looked after, you may not need to feed it this year.
If you feel you want to feed it, wait until you see early fruit set (tiny
green fruits replacing flowers), then water in some tomato fertiliser. Make
sure it gets plenty of water while fruits are swelling. If you want fewer
large fruit, thin out excess fruits after June drop (trees natural response
to setting too many fruits), otherwise you'll have masses of smaller fruits.
Be prepared to support heavily laden branches.
Never prune your plum tree in winter, due to the risk of silver leaf
disease. Prune during summer in good, dry weather, and make sure your
secateurs are clean.
