Has the rain ruined my plumbs

tco03

I have a great plumb tree that produces hundreds of plumbs every year.

However went to check on my crop yesterday and nothing...

All i have is mutant shrivelled leaves.

Seemed to be growing nicely before the 8 weeks of rain

Here it as the very late frosts that i think have seen away by far the majority of our plums. Our green gage is normally laden, but it has half a dozen little fruit on it, no more than that.

Our plum and greengage trees are exactly the same. Very few fruits on the and one of the old ones is usually laden. We've only got a couple of fruit trees (apple) with anything worth having this year.

I heard on the radio that some apple growers have lost 90% of the crop due to inclement weather. I presume your plum suffered the same fate.

Yes my apples are a little shrivelled too but have come on the last week or so.

Our apples look better than usual, so its a shame they are not a nice variety!

There isn't any one our tree either or our neighbours at our allotment.

We put it down to loosing the blossom earlier in the year.

Just one of those things that you can't do anything about.

i like either plumbs or pulm's (grocer's apostrophe)

Just noticed we do have a very few plums on our almost wortless tree. The dogs steal most of them so they will be pleased.

Nb, plums are not good for dogs and i do not recommend them but have failed ever to stop one dog in particular stealing them.
