Caring for Plum Trees

Plum trees are easy to grow and can add color and interest to the landscape. To care for these fruit trees, you should: 1. Add lime to extremely acidic soil to make it less acidic. 2. Be sure that the location where these trees are planted does not have pockets of heavy frost, since plum trees bloom early. 3. Provide support for branches that are carrying a lot of fruit, since the plum tends to have weak branches that break easily.

Hi Patricia,

First be sure you are pruning it at the right time, second fertilize it with a fertilizer made for fruit trees or compost. Make sure it is getting plenty of water as well.
