Message: I have a home in Atlanta. I want to plant plum trees down the side of my yard about 5 feet from the line and for the duration of the 140 feet back. We have plenty of neighbors who can help harvest and eat them all. I would like to get as many different varieties as is right here. I don't know what to buy or where to buy them.

Message: Prune young trees in winter for shape,in summer for fan training older trees and to remove unproductive wood. Hard pruning stimulates side shoots. Take laterals back to two thirds in winter.

Message: 2 years ago my plum tree blossomed profusely and bore fruit which was 90% defected by a clear, sticky, oozing gel. The unaffected fruits were great. This spring, I had fewer blossoms and fruit. As soon as the green plums got to be an inch in diameter, The ooze began and every fruit on the tree was gone within a day! What's happening? Yhank you or any help.

Message: My tree is 7 years old a dwarf.
This year I noticed a hard growth on various branches. It looks like bark that wraps around a small part of the branches. Also there are a few bugs that look like lady bugs.
