The tree should be fine - but a word of caution, the trees do not say
what rootstock they are on. Also the plums have been cut to fit in
the bags which is a problem with Victoria as it is susseptible to
Silver leaf.
If its leaves do develop a silver return it. The is a plant passport
number on the sleeve, so it is traceable. The cure for silverleaf is
to dig up and burn....
The Beurre Hardy is self sterile so needs a pollinator.

Thanks, Cliff, for all the good advice.
I'll bear this in mind.
