Posted: Tue Sep 02, 08 4:09 pm Post subject: ripening plums off the tree ? |
|
Against all odds, and contrary to its previous behaviour and this year's weather, my Victoria plum tree has more fruit than it's ever borne in the last 6 years.
However, if I leave the plums to ripen on the tree, the birds, wasps and flies will have them.
Can I ripen off the tree, and if so, at what stage do I pick them, and what are the best conditions in which to do the ripening ? How long for, approx ? |
