What can I do to get my Louisa plum tree to blossom? It's been planted for five years and I've had no fruit. I live in Rotorua.

Hi Karen, this is unusual. Normally plums are prolific flowerers, unless they have been pruned hard back then it can take a few years for new fruiting wood to appear. It is good to note that when planting new fruit trees it can take up to six years for the first fruit to appear. If they are flowering and the fruit isn’t appearing, it is more than likely a pollination problem. We hope this information helps ^Tui Team
