Fruit Trees ~ Plum in bloom

There were a few days of very warm weather that got the fruit trees blooming but with so few bees about there won't be an abundance of fruit, if any at all, on our trees. Our Plum tree has loads of blooms and I hope some got pollinated! This one produces early and while the skin has a sour bite to it, the flesh is quite sweet. We usually peel them before eating. They also can up nicely (skin on) and make a nice jelly or jam.
