    Hi everyone, I'm new here and have a question about a plum tree.

    I'm wondering if anyone has any options on how I can manage this tree better.

    Please note: I haven't done anything with this tree. All the cuts were from the previous home owner. It's definitely gotten a little unruly and I definitely don't think it was cut properly. It's really tall now and it still produces fruit which end up being too high and causes lots of animals and bugs.

    Is there a way i can shorten the height based on how its growing and making strategic cuts perhaps? It also appears that the truck isn't in great structural shape. Should I just cut it down or cut it really short?

    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Hopefully the pics work
