My plum trees are Victoria plum, a well known English variety which is self-pollinating, although I do have two trees. I think it might do better if I had another type of plum to pollinate it and certainly I'll be giving it a good summer prune in the style of the video - I love the final look of those trees - but I think the trees in the video are all apples?Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-43891229608646136012014-07-12T23:40:30.638-07:002014-07-12T23:40:30.638-07:00Caro!!

Who knew? So I am getting a purple Japanese Plum to pollinate it.

It all seems to make sense and I'm going to give his method a go on my plum trees as they're getting very tall and the tiny fruits always fall off - lack of light? Perhaps, let's see!
