Default plum bush branches breaking

m the plum bushes at the home i bought last year are so heavy with
plums that branches are breaking.

i've mentioned before about pruning, wanting to transplant, now i
gotta figgure out ways to fix the broken branches.

got them propped up, and enough bark and such is keeping the branches
alive.

I suppose after the fruits ripen i can try to graft them to shorten
the branch length and reduce the force/lever arm and such. any
suggestions?

next year i think i am really gonna prune them, I thought i did a
violent enough job last year but i guess not.......
