Landscape Uses & Maintenance of Plum Fruit Trees

The Plum Fruit Tree is a superb fruit tree to add to your home or landscape.

The flowers bloom in spring and are pale pink to white, making for a pretty display. Plant this tree in your orchard or use it to line your border for easy-to-reach fruits. It is excellent as a focal point for a yard. Plant in a location with full sun. “Full sun” meansa location that gets at least 6 – 8 hours of sunlight per day.

Thesetreesare not self-pollinating, so buy and plant two trees to ensure that you have fruit set. Planting two trees simultaneously ensures both trees are at the same level of maturity to bear fruit.

Prune branches in late winter. Look for diseased, damaged, or rubbing bark that will create fungal or bacterial issues. Thinning out the canopy is a great way to ensure plenty of sunlight goes down into the tree and dries it out in the morning or after storms. You may have more fungal issues with your leaves, bark, or fruit without this. As your tree matures, it is vital to keep your branches fewer as fruits will load the branches and create significant weight.

Apply a balanced fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in early spring for optimal health and vigor.The nectar-rich flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinators, and the fruits attract plenty of wildlife to your yard, including squirrels and other mammals.

How to Grow and Care for Fruit Trees

Fruit trees are a rewarding addition to any landscape, offering fragrant blossoms in spring and fresh, homegrown harvests in summer or fall. Popular varieties like apple, peach, pear, and plum thrive in full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Choose trees suited to your USDA zone, and plant in early spring or fall for the best root development.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and deep enough so the root flare sits just above the soil line. Backfill with native soil, water deeply, and apply mulch around the base—keeping it a few inches from the trunk—to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly during the first growing season, especially during dry spells.

Prune annually to shape the tree, improve air circulation, and boost fruit production. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced or fruit-specific fertilizer. With proper planting, seasonal care, and a little patience, fruit trees will reward you with beauty, shade, and bountiful harvests year after year.
