Thanks for all the plum information which is appreciated and comforting. Any
advance on my other crop failure - my Autumn Bliss raspberries?

Victoria Plum. About 20 years old. Never a very good cropper, but a

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.

The local PYO farm has indicated that there would be few plums this year
due to a frost at flowering time. (I was pleased to get just 2 plums on a
newly planted tree - tasty )

I had no plums whatsoever this year because of the frost and I have about
half a dozen plum and gage trees.
