The message
from "Alistair Macdonald" contains
these words:

South east England. One - raspberries. Two - plums.

Autumn Bliss. Plants about five years old. Excellent crops until this year.
Very poor and the leaves on several plants have lost their "green-ness"
Prune to ground level every year about January and feed with Growmore at
that time.

Try giving them a feed of (say) Epsom salts, or something which contains
magnesium.

Victoria Plum. About 20 years old. Never a very good cropper, but a couple
of years ago produced a bumper crop of excellent fruits. Last year about
half-a-dozen and this year nil. Prune two thirds of last years growth in
early Spring.

Any suggestions?

Plums do this anyway, and the North East can get quite cold and frosty
during flowering time.

Pruning plums can set them back years, sometimes. (Though I don't think
Victorias are quite so touchy about it.)
