Hi Jarod, it might just be my PC but I don't think your Picture has come through properly.

I see it. The plums are ripe for eating over here in the UK. Good use of the mother and daughter style Jarrod. It should prove to be a nice tree.

Nice start Jarrod
have you thought about shortening the Rh Trunk? for me it is too long.
It could be cut back to the Small branch on the RHs of it and using that as a new leader for that trunk.

Love the flowers

well done jezz very cute. im sure you will sort it in time.

Thanks for the comments guys, Definitely will sort it out soon. Though I do have to be careful as this is the other halfs tree, well that's what she thinks so i cant be too vicious with it

The top will be brought under control and the branches laid out nicely once it has finished flowering. It is starting to ramify nicely.

Once again, Cheers guys.

Update. Had to regrow a branch on the left which was knocked off by a falling gum tree branch. Looking it's best at this lovely time of the year!

Hi Jarrod , ripper looking tree this one , makes mine look very ordinary . The only bonus was mine was free and dug out of the ground .

Cheers Alpine

What an improvement over 3 years. I love the contrast with the dark, old trunk and the fresh, new, white blossoms. Love it.

I have that variety in the garden and I think I will try to air layer this year-perfect tiny flower which has a nice scent
