The Plum tree Reine Claude Crottée is best planted in the fall or early spring, when the soil is still fresh and moist. Water well after planting for good rooting. Then, water regularly the first year, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil slightly moist. Prune dead or diseased branches to promote good air circulation and prevent disease. A light pruning at the end of winter can also help maintain a harmonious shape, but be careful, you must apply healing balm because plum trees tolerate pruning only moderately.
