Victoria Plum Tree
Question:
I planted a small Victoria Plum Tree last year in spring, I have no blossom this year only leaves, is this normal?
Answer:
Most fruit trees are very hardy but once they start into growth in spring, flowers and buds are especially vulnerable to frost. It may well be that the flower buds were affected by the frost and died. Next year in early spring cover the tree with horticultural fleece until all risk of frost has passed.
