Any more tips on plum tree care greatly appreciated.

Now that everyhone has had a good laugh, you need to tell us where the
tree is. That is, what is your climate, which determines when you
should prune the tree.

For pruning stone fruit trees knowing the climate is really not
necessary, that they grow there tells the climate, obviously. Pruning
is best accomplished according to season and growing habit.
"always prune plum trees when they are growing strongly, mid-June is a
good time."

Ornamental (non-fruiting) stone fruits should be pruned just after they
flower.

Changing the subject always makes one look intelligent.
