Do you know what type of plum it is? If it's a Victoria (or some others) then it could be a case of biennial bearing. The tree puts so much energy into producing fruit one year that it has to take a year out to recover, before producing a mass of fruit again the third year. The solution is to get up there and thin thefruit drastically in the early stages. Alternatively, could the blossom have been frosted?

Curious!  For us, last year wasn't great, but this year the trees are already laden with buby fruitlets!
