A few days ago I posted a question about what to do about our 3-year old
plum tree. No replies that I've seen, so maybe there's no comment to be
made ... but on the off-chance...

Plum tree is 3 years old. About 4 plums last year. NO plums this year
-- but a huge amount of bushy growth in all directions.

Question: should I be pruning it furiously right now, while the bushy
growth is rampant?

[I can't remember what variety it is, but I'd guess that it's a
Victoria, since we're not fruit growers as such, and we'd just have gone
for the bog-standard favourite.]


Cheers

If I remember correctly you prune Plums and related trees in summer so
the wounds heal quickly and reduce the risk of silverleaf fungus getting
in. There are in fact several specialist web sites that give detail
instructions on fruit tree pruning with illustrations so I think you may
find google is your friend!
