Fellemberg Plum

I purchased 2 Fellemberg plum trees (also known as "Italian Plum") from Stark Bros. nursery. One of them had a trunk that was bowed, and since it's in the front yard meant to flank the garden entry, I asked them to send a new one. They did so on the spot - I have to say I'm 100% thrilled with their customer service.

I removed the bowed one and gave it to Kerry H. - I hope they get a lot of years of enjoyment out of it!

Unfortunately, when I pruned the other plum, I left a wound on the trunk. Some of the bark was left in a flap. I cut it off clean this morning so hopefully it will heal without any borers or infection.
 This one I will be calling the "west plum".
