I'm having trouble pruning my plums! #891716
Asked January 19, 2025, 9:31 AM EST
Hello,
I have a nice Italian Prune Plum tree, the lovely kind that I dry to make prunes for winter. I just don't know how to prune it. I had an apple tree and I was good with that. The plum seems different. Can you teach a class on pruning plum trees?
Thanks,
