My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Problem Plum...

17 years ago

Hello to all, Have'nt posted/been on Garden Web for a long time. Just realized how much I missed it!

I have a plum tree in my Vedj. garden amongst my raised beds. Gets adequate water and full sun. Has to be at least 7 years old. It is a strong healthy tree. I think it is a Stanley plum. Suppose to be self pollinating. Flowers beautifully, gets some fruiting...then just as I get my hopes up the fruits falls off...every year!Does send up a a lot of suckers...easy in my sandy soil. Any suggestions?

Do I need another plum to help pollination?.

Thanks,

Keeker
