Title: Help needed
Post by: luckycharlie on April 29, 2011, 11:10:09

   Last year we planted some  apple ,pear trees also a plum tree. This year the apple and pear trees are full of bloom but the plum tree hasn't a single flower on it. It looks really health plenty of leaves is there anything I've done wrong with it?

Were they from Lidls or Aldi. If so, be patient. We did the same 2 years ago & we should have a few plums this year. The apples & pears are full of blossom, so full in fact that if there isn't enough in the June drop we'll have to take some off ::).

nothing to worry about at all, you need no help!

I have the same with mine, apples full of blossom and the pear and plum trees with very little if any.  All planted at the same time

plum/pear/cherry trees seem to take a couple of years to establish before they blossom and have fruit

patience is a virtue  ;D
