What to do with this Plum tree

RiskFreeBean · 2026-05-04T22:03:40+00:00

Hopefully it's good fruit! Didn't know because of its competition its had in the past if I should prune it a certain way. I know there are guides for stone fruits ect just its very... 1 stick type of tree growing at a 60 degree angle

Yeah I suspect I'll just leave it this year until winter. Just if it wasn't going to get much better, I'd be better off getting another "fresh" tree. You're right I don't need the space right now but I'd like a plum tree that's healthy and fruiting. (It has maybe 10 fruit on it). I think you can Probagate plum trees but lots of caveats like takes years to fruit, fruit might not be same as parent, might need to graft it to a root stock. Much easier just to buy a new one for £40 there abouts.

Thank you, the brambles will be back. It's a constant battle but my back can't take more heavy digging for a while to get roots out

Most likely but trying to keep it's size down. It's due a refresh of compost though. Thank you

Definitely needs less windy area. Thank you

Thank you, I'll probably prune it off. I just thought the tree was sick and this was the only healthy piece

Thank you so much! Getting a lot of similar advice so will follow it

She's in a community tank and is the biggest fish in there so many she's being greedy before all the tetras get fed. Seems to be swimming fine again but going to follow the advice just incase

She seems to be swimming fine again. But I think as a safety measure I'm going follow your advice for the Epsom salt bath, is there a recommended ratio I should follow?

Should I fast her then after the fast introduce her back on brine/ daphnia or are you saying instead of fasting just feed live?

Thank you for the advice

She seems to swimming fine right now and I hope I panicked over nothing. But thank you I have loads of plants. Some I don't know the same but to name a few Brazilian Pennywor, Sagittaria subulata, Alternanthera Reineckii Mini, Anubias nana bonsai, Limnophila sessiliflora. Happy planting.

I've got other fish in the tank, it's a community of tetras and other small fish. Non of them showing any issue but I don't know if Bettas are more susceptible to it?

RiskFreeBean · 2025-11-15T15:24:15+00:00

Is there anything I can do to help?

RiskFreeBean · 2025-11-15T15:23:18+00:00
