Plum Time

[Watto]

I thought it a good idea to post a photo of a couple of plums, just because. I have a particular liking for plum, and all these following are dug from somewhere close to where i live.
There are small ones, medium size ones and large ones, but the thing that all these have in common is that they where all re-potted (a few for the first time) this year.
I hope there are a few other plum fans out there and that you enjoy these. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions for improvement.
Cheers

They look beautiful I especially like Plum E.
I want to try and grow some plums as well but gotta learn how to take proper cuttings and get them to take root.

Jamie - plum C has a recent history. After I dug it, it was about 900mm tall, but the trunk was like a telegraph pole, the same diameter all the way up. So it was cut, then a large V was cut out of it, and then glued and screwed together. I am hopeful it will survive and prosper. It is now about 300mm tall.

This photo is just for size comparison. The nabari was the thing that first attracted me, and is still a good feature.
