I can see teeny tiny plums on my plum tree behind where the flowers were.

You wait till the flowers have fallen off, and then look for little green fruitlets where the flowers were.

This is my pear where the flowers have fallen, some are brown some are green



And this is my plum



Do these look promising? My apples are only just coming in to flower

Plum looks good.
Have the pears been frosted as they look brown?

[Mumbles]

excited to hear the plums look good as there are loads of those green things!

there was a bit of a frost but only a couple of them look brown, the majority are still green. Will the green ones be ok?

Green is good, see how the June Drop goes, as you may need to thin out later.
The Plums may also need thinning to stop the tree from bearing fruit biannually.
Remember to water the trees every week (young trees 2 -4 galls) if hot and sunny & remember to feed them.

June Drop? Is this when flowers fall off? How many should I leave on my trees?
