This tree was planted in 2012 as a one-year-old maiden whip. This was the tree's first harvest. The harvest lasted from 6 September (a few plums damaged by birds and wasps) through 19 October (these last plums were slightly overripe). I put bird netting over the tree shortly after harvesting the first ripe fruit.
