The instructions say from end of May but give no detail other than this. Manufacturers not being any help.

Since the moths lay their eggs in the flower before the plums form then as your trees are in flower now, I would say get the traps up as soon as possible. It will not do any harm in any case as the pheromone lasts a fair while.
