Full of Plums

This tree has been here in a different post but before I pick all the plums and treat the tree with a fertilizer program I took one last photo for this season.
Currently has about 60 to 70 plums on it and I really like the bark colour with the green leaves and yellow fruit. I'm hoping next year it is even better x.
I will be eating plums for a couple of days.
Hope you enjoy.

Thanks mate, I'm not sure I can eat that many plums, but I will give it a go.

Use the extra plums for a bit of plum jam mate.

Tree is looking good. What is the height of it, the plums don't look too out of proportion.

Thanks guys, but a quick question - to get that jam stuff, do you need to cook?
Ken - in a couple of years the plums that you dug will be producing like this! How are they progressing anyway?

Nice work mate, yellow plums make the best jam too!

I had serious reservations but I did make some plum jam from a bonsai fruit. There is 5 small jars - OK they are wine glasses because I didn't have any jars - and it is really cool. The family assures me it tastes great.

That's awesome, a new cottage industry perhaps?

Nice work, Watto! Get a few of these growing and you may be able to give up your day job. Yellow plum jam, yum, yum!!
