Questions & Answers
Your poor tree is just a little confused about the weather/fruiting cycle. Plum trees would normally not bloom anywhere near this late; it's just trying to "do its job." It will start over again next season. Please don't fertilize it now, as that will confuse the tree even further.
Not at all. The fruits will remain full-sized, presuming they get the right amount of sunlight, rainfall/water and nutrients.
Shiro and Redheart (per the previous answer...) but it sounds like you have to determine if it's a Japanese variety or a European variety to determine what your next purchase will be...
Most people choose to grow fruit trees in containers for easy mobility. For this purpose, the ideal container size is about 10-15 gallons — substantial enough to support a tree, but small enough to move easily. If you like, you can plant it outdoors after a couple of years, providing you dig a big enough hole to suit the root system.
This is tree is STUNNING as an espalier specimen, with one color of plum on the right and another on the left. Your neighbors will be in awe. :-)
It just so happens that we have an excellent article entitled, "How to Dig a Perfect Planting Hole". Here is a link to the article: //www.starkbros.com/growing-guide/article/how-to-dig-a-perfect-planting-hole
Each of the varieties on this tree will pollinate the other, but if you want some "bonus" pollination, you can plant Methley or Burbank Elephant Heart nearby.
We are on already 2 years with it and haven’t seen fruit yet. However, it has grown quickly. This year it flowered more than last year. So hoping to see something soon.
This yellow greenish plum is called the Shiro plum and we do offer that variety.
