One plant was lost due to a heat wave, followed by unorthodox pruning in a storm, and then a dog trying to dig it up and eat it. The other plant appears to be thriving, it is covered in buds ready for spring. Leaves emerged late September, not many flowers. I think I'll need to take steps to increase the "chill hours" it feels

I like the taste and texture of this plum, the tartness of the skin combines well with the sweet and soft flesh.

My first attempt at espailiering. I think I may have chosen the wrong type of plum as it's not shooting where I predict. Ahh..too ambitious for a novice pruner..Few nice fruit set, but as they were on the lowest wire the dog bumped most of them off.

Fruited in 2009 - I can't remember if I liked them or not - oops.

Nov 2010: flowers later than the sunrises - and too late this year as the spring got too hot and windy very fast - no fruit set.
