I got a patio victoria plum tree last year, which I have in a container.
It had loads of tiny plums on it, but now all but 4 have dropped off.
Am I correct in assuming that this is just because they did not get pollinated? The weather did turn very wet while the flowers were out.

No they were pollinated but it is the dreaded 'June drop'. Trees drop some of their fruit at this time of year and only keep what 'they' think they can grow to maturity. All fruit trees do it. It can be quite disheartening to see all these little fruit and then most of them get dropped. :BangHead:
