I have a plum tree which is 4 years old and I have just harvested 14lb of delicious plums, however, whilst I have been living abroad and my home has been rented out he tree hasn't been pruned and is now a very peculiar shape. All the life is on one side. How much can I cut off to make it more equal, one side is very dead and other is Ok but I need to shorten some of the branches, can I do this without killing the tree and should I leave the dead side long?
