August 27, 2010, Newsletter Issue #459: Caring for Plum Trees
Tip of the Week
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.
