I've got three beach
plums of different varieties. This is their third year in the ground and
each year they have bloomed profusely and set a few fruits. I understand
that pollination is not the best, however, both previous years all of the fruit
has dropped after reaching about the size of a pea. About this time of
year. I didn't know if that was normal or if there was anything I might do
to help prevent at least some of them from dropping (other than watering through
the drought this year).
