[QUOTE="Nimrod777, post: 4031700, member: 2033"] [b]Re: Plum Trees?[/b] Our experience certainly wasn't as professional as DaveB's, but I picked up a clearance sale Santa Rosa plum tree some eight years ago or so. Stuck it into the ground at the corner of our house where it was mostly clay and rock. I'm sure I tried to scrape some decent soil and compost in. It survived. The second year it grew. The third year it thrived. Hundreds of plums. By the fourth year limbs heavy with fruit were dragging the ground, or breaking under the weight. I honestly would be surprised if it was not producing a thousand or more fruits. I think it was the fifth year, maybe the sixth, when one branch did not bud in the spring. Maybe a fungus? But by early summer the entire tree died. I'm gonna plant another one of those trees when we're in a yard that's not a rental. Some of the best jam we've ever tasted! [/QUOTE]
