Plum tree (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

This was already here when I moved in.  The first year I moved in, I had so much fruit, we couldn't eat it all.  I made some plum jam with some.  The rest I was giving it away in boxes.  The following year in winter I pruned it back hard  because I wanted the branches to start growing lower so a could reach the fruit and neaten up the tree.  That summer I got no fruit which I expected.  The next three years I got very little fruit.  I guess I pruned I bit to hard.
