Gardeners recommend starting to plant plums before the buds open on the seedlings.
Another important condition is temperature.
By the time of landing, the air should warm up to at least 5 degrees Celsius. At the same time, such a positive temperature should be at night.
If we are talking about seedlings with an open root system, then they can be planted in the garden immediately after the snow melts, but the ground will not have time to warm up and dry out much.
It is also important to take into account the weather. It is advisable to carry out the procedure in cloudy and windless weather. As for the time of planting, preference should be given to early morning or late evening.
Experienced gardeners also recommend using the lunar calendar when planting seedlings.
Favorable days: April 17-18, as well as May 6-9, 13-15 and 17.
It is necessary to approach the choice of the planting site responsibly. It is necessary to take into account that the plum loves warmth and a lot of light. In this case, the tree will bear fruit well. In addition, it should be ensured that the plant is protected from drafts.
You should not plant plum trees in lowlands or swampy areas.
As for the soil, it should be loose, fertile, and also have a neutral acidity level.
