Plum tree
"philgurr" wrote in message ... "Ophelia" wrote in message ... Please advise me on my plum tree which has not fruited this year and the leaves have holes in them? Wish I could, mine has done the same! Ahh. You are in Scotland too I think? But further north than I. Let us hope someone has a remedy? -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

Not sure about the holey leaves, but did your tree fruit well last year? I think plum trees can be prone to the same 'biennial bearing' as some apples. My MiL used to say her ancient old Victoria plum would fruit poorly if it had had a very heavy crop the previous year, as if it took an extra season to build up strength again. That seems to be true as last year the old tree hardly had any fruit at all, but this year is absolutely dripping with plums. -- Sue |

Perhaps I should just keep my fingers crossed for next year? Maybe I was unlucky this year because of a lack of insects. From what you say, no fruit this year might mean a better crop next year ... all being well. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |
