Frequent frost during and after bloom will mean poor fruit set. Because plum and prune trees bloom early, a site that does not get late frosts is best.Fully self-fertile plums can be planted alone. Some plums are partially self-fertile those will produce more as young trees if planted with a pollinizer. Japanese plums will not pollinate European plums or vice versa as they bloom 2-3 weeks apart. If your soil is very heavy and winter wet, consider building a mound for your trees, 4′-5′ wide, 16″ deep. Plums and prunes are tolerant of many soil types, but will perform best on deep, well-drained soil.

Learn more about the history of ANSI A300. They are voluntary industry consensus standards developed by TCIA and written by a committee called the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) A300, whose mission is to develop consensus performance standards based on current research and sound practice for writing specifications to manage trees, shrubs, and other woody plants. ANSI A300 standards are the generally accepted industry standards for tree care practices.
