Today I harvested over 5kg ripe plums from the broken branch and there are still more to come.
I'm so glad I decided to wait and see what happened. There is probably another kilo on that branch, not including the ones that the wasps and snails have started on. I haven't even started on the other branches yet, but this was the main one.
Once the rest are gathered, I will cut the branch off and the goats can have a feast.
