    I have a Victoria Plum tree I was given 2 years ago by a guy who had 3 big trees on this plot and this had self-set, it was only 3ft high so I planted in my back garden at home. Last year I had some blossom and got one plum that I managed to accidentally knocked off as I was so excited to find an actual plum forming.

    This year its got its first flower and I've noticed that it has got loads of buds ready to burst open so hopefully I will have more than one forming this year and I won't knock it off in my excitement.

      Bit late on posting. Below is my aprimira which was the first plum to flower (several weeks ago) and was like candyfloss at one point it had that much blossom this year. Most of the plums are over, the peaches, nectarines and apricots are definitely over.

          One espalier pear is fully out and the other 2 are about to break open.
          As is one of the espalier apple trees

              Plum blossom over now here - the first apple blossom (Brownlee's Russet) just coming out - the petals are a very dark pink.

                  The last of our apple trees to flower. This morning through the kitchen window. Gravenstein absolutely covered in blossom - and humming loudly with insects.
