QuestionI have a fruitless purple plum tree that is about 10 years old last year it started flowering and getting fruit is there any way to stop this
AnswerHere is a web link to a product that if sprayed on the tree will stop the flowering. The key will be getting the product to the leaves of the tree depending on the size of the tree this can be a big job. The idea is to stop the flowering or pollination of the flower thereby stopping the fruit production. This will need to be sprayed in the early spring as the flower buds are breaking.
