The size depends a lot on the pruning, and perhaps variety. They
aren't big trees like Bramleys, and most can be pruned into 6'x6'x8'.
But I am no expert.


I am worried that pruning is a "no, no" in plums?

Heavy pruning cuts are to be avoided - lets in 'silver leaf fungus. I
killed a lovely ornamental cherry that way (many years ago when I
didn't know any better). Light cuts should be ok especially if done in
early summer. Have you considered fan-training for a more compact tree?
