Plum Trees Are Easy To Grow. Your Tree’S Growth And Output Will Likely Be Fine Providing You Followed Our Planting And Care Instructions. Below We Address Some Common Queries:

• Hardiness: Plum Trees Can Be Found Growing In Far Colder Regions Than The Uk And Therefore The Uk’S Mild Winters Will Not Affect Your Tree. One Issue That Can Affect Plum Trees Is Frost-Damaged Blossom, Which Can Prevent A Tree Fruiting. For More Information, Please Consult Our Pollination Guide.
• Position: In The Uk, The Greatest Barrier To Successful Fruiting Is A Lack Of Sunlight, So Be Sure To Plant Your Tree In Full Sun. Planting Your Tree In A Sheltered Spot Will Help Prevent Uprooting And Allow The Tree To Put More Resources Into Fruiting.
• Soil Types: Soil Types Are Best Ignored And Remain An Unwelcome Confusion. Every Plant Will Adapt To Its Conditions. Having Said That, Less Than Ideal Conditions Will Reduce Growth. Every Plant Is Suited To A Specific Ph And Plum Trees Prefer Soils With A Ph Between 5.5-6.5. Phs Beyond This Range Will Reduce Nutrient Uptake. Waterlogged Soils Will Starve Your Tree Of Oxygen, Which Plays A Key Role In Photosynthesis, Cause Its Roots To Rot And Create The Perfect Environment For Many Diseases. Similarly, Compressed Soils Can Starve A Tree Of Oxygen And Water, So Do Not Compress The Soil When Planting. Aeration Can Be Improved Further With Mulching.
