Fruit Trees: Plum Tree 1st Harvest

This is my three-in-one plum tree. I planted it February 2010. I pruned about 40 small plums off of the tree because the tree is young and the branches are weak. I still have a great harvest of plums though. Planting a three-in-one fruit tree is a great idea if you have limited space like I do on a standard urban house lot.

Root the branches that you cut off your trees. Same goes from limbs that break off. Then you can share the new trees with others. Just use a pot, good soil mix and shady location. Keep the soil moist. If it doesn't work, you have only lost a few minutes time.

Granted coming from a grafted tree, the new plant might not stay short like the original but who cares if you have space.

@KayakFisher01 Great idea. I'll definately do that next time. Now I want a branch to break off so I can try this. ")

Ouch! I hit my thumb. Fruit is looking real good. There are plenty of vids on utube to help you with pruning and thinning your trees to get max. yield.

@ceadeses Yes, thank you. I did a pretty good job on all my other trees but for some reason I butchered the Plum tree pruning.
