Plant details
Perhaps the best known plum, this is a dual-purpose variety widely grown for dessert and also for bottling and jam-making. Trees are self-fertile and crop very heavily, their branches sometimes needing support to prevent breakage under the weight of fruit, which is large, red speckled, and very sweet, rather than strongly flavoured. It makes a medium-sized tree, unless grafted on a semi-dwarfing rootstock such as 'Pixy' to produce fans on garden walls or dwarf pyramids. Prune between early spring and mid-autumn, when wounds heal quickly. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

I have a plum tree in my garden, which has had very good crops for several years, but the last two years I have had no plums whatsoever. Is there anything I can do to make a good harvest?
Thanx
