My plum tree is a frail old tree, we have had to remove the dead and diseased branches carefully over the past few years; we still have delicate branches. Now some this year's crop of plums is looking too heavy for the branches, in past years I occasionally had to resort to propping up a branch that was overladen with fruit.
Today I decided to remove some of the ripe and almost ripe plums to allow the plums left on the tree a bit more space and to reduce the weight. The plums that I brought home today are now cooked up into a tasty compote.
