We've had a bad year with the Japanese and cross-species plums, only two have survived ( canker has been rife, and has also taken out a Mesch Mesch apricot, half a large peach tree, Gypsy plum). The cold spring meant that although there was lots of blossom, lasting for weeks, there have only been a dozen Japanese plums, and the woodpigeons nabbed those.
Got to say, though, (typing with crossed fingers) that the Satsuma plum tree that is planted four metres in front of the south-facing house wall seems very happy in that situation, and is normally thronged with fruit. |
