I have a plum tree that is in full bloom. It's fruit is vary large
reddish yellow plums 3" long when ripe. Usually, it gets a dozen or
two fruit on it, but
one year I harvested 80 pounds of plums from it.
Here in Seattle, the spring has been cold and damp. There is no sign
of any bees. I am wondering if there is some way of fertilizing the
tree manually, perhaps be tapping a branch from my neighbor's small
fruit plum or my italian prune trees against it's blooms. Does
anyone have any knowledge about this they
could assist me with?

I think the word you want is pollination.
Have fun !
