    Planting: The most suitable time to plant plums is autumn, but they can also be planted in spring.
  • However, when planting in spring, the trees lose winter moisture, so we must pay attention to watering the trees more often. Container trees can be planted throughout the year. 
  • When planting ourselves, we proceed as follows: dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the roots and deep enough so that the grafting site of the variety is above the ground after planting. 
  • Cover the roots with fine soil and water them with plenty of water. 
  • Make a watering bowl around the tree so that the water does not drain away, wrap the trunk with a suitable bite protector and attach the tree to a stake so that it does not topple over in the wind. In the following year, it is necessary to fertilize the trees with nitrogen fertilizers during budding, after flowering and after the June fruit drop. 
  • This fertilization contributes to faster development of the trees and improves their health. Cererit, for example, is used for this fertilization.
    Pruning: It is important to trim the trees after planting by removing excess shoots, shortening the remaining shoots by 1/3 so that the central shoot exceeds the side shoots.
    Protection: Against pests in stone fruits against the plum sawfly at the end of flowering, use Calipso or Mospilan at the time of the plums turning blue.
  • Against aphids, use Pirimor according to the instructions throughout the year in case of an attack.
