The festooned plum experiment


As an experiment I festooned a 4 year old Victoria plum to see if it really did encourage bud break and hence more fruit. Well as you can see from the picture, yes it did in a big way and is something I will try on other top fruit as well. Every branch is now hanging under the weight of fruit rather than being held down by the festoon strings.
