PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
At planting time cut back the limbs of your plum 
trees to about one-half of their length. The leader 
(center branch) can be cut back a few inches. In good 
ground plums will grow almost too fast, and it. Is 
therefore a good plan to give them a summer pruning 
Early in July cut back the new 
branches a few inches to stop them from growing too 
much. This will also increase the bearing ability of 
the tree for the following year.
