Plant Care Information
Top Tips
- Add Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi to give your plants a head start and establish more quickly.
Care Information
- Apply a slow-release fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone in early spring, and mulch to retain moisture.
- For the biggest, juiciest plums, thin the fruits in May by removing some of the smaller, immature fruits. Then in July, while the plums are still hard, remove any that are damaged or diseased or touching others.
- Water regularly, and don't let the soil dry out if planted in pots.
- Hang wasp traps in trees and harvest crops as soon as they ripen. Avoid leaving windfalls or over-ripe fruit on the ground.
- Prune trees in late in July when they're in full growth. For young trees, take back the new upright growth by about a third. For older, mature trees, remove any dead, diseased or dying branches and then prune the older branches hard to promote productivity, aiming for an overall goblet shape.
