Hi folks.
I have a sort of clump of plums at the end of my garden that have never been maintained in any way. And although there was an insanely enthusiastic crop of little plums had from them in 2010, I really feel I should reduce them if I can.
I've been in this place for 10yrs+, and although the neighbours have never said anything, I feel that they might prefer a little more daylight. And I actually have to use a ladder to gather the fruit, despite the 4 to 5 inch thin trunks. It was pretty wobbly up there let me tell you!

Can't post the image, so here's the link to photobucket.

That is just one of the trees, and was after most of the fruit had been picked. There was so much that the branches were breaking!! My garden is only 11-ish feet wide, so 5 twenty plus feet high trees is a bit much.

Thanks in advance people!
