Non Fruit Bearing Plum Tree. Also called ornamental plum trees, non-fruit bearing varieties may bear occasional plums, but they are valued for their aesthetic appeal instead of their edible fruit. Plum trees need to be pruned once a year so that they'll retain a healthy shape and produce abundant fruit.
Rewarding trees Apricots, cherries, peaches and plums are called stone fruits because they have large pits or stones at their centers.
The timing is important, since pruning at the wrong time of year can expose My plum tree had some flowers in spring, but no fruit.
There are other reasons for non-bearing apple trees that we won't go into here, but this year in particular, we may also see apple trees that flowered and don't fruit due to late freezes. Here in Willamette Valley, Oregon my wife planted a "non-fruit bearing plum tree" ( so labeled on the tree.) that generates the sweetest golden fruit that has me racing with. I have a flowering plum tree.
