   For the first time, I'm getting some plums off of a number of my trees - 
Red Heart, Superior, and Kanga (sp?).  Most of the plums on all the trees are 
cracked - split skin, some leaking.  Any cultural techniques that I can use 
to reduce this problem?

As an aside, I have one seedling tree from a Green Gage fruit I bought in the 
supermarket that is also fruiting for the first time.  No signs of cracking 
on this one, so far.

 

thanks,
