I planted a plum tree five years ago and it had not beared any plum yet. Every Spring it has flower, no plum.

You have to have two plum trees in order for it to pollinate. May I suggest planting a second one around 10-12 feet from the other one? Then you will have plums.

Yes you will still want a plum tree. Some fruit bearing trees you could do that but plum trees can be a little more picky. Though you can get a dwarf plum if you are limited on space...you will need to buy a dwarf from a private nursery...larger places like home depot or lowes won't have them. Report It

Reply:I know that some trees, you need more than one to produce fruit. My mom had a persimmon tree and had 1 with no fruit. She got another more and it helped to pollinate the 1st one. The next year she had fruit! I don't know if this works with plums or not though.
Reply:if it is not self fertilizing you need some bees to come around plant some flowers bees will enjoy or learn how to polinate it yourself.Arculter department in you county can give you some tips
Reply:Are you very sure it's not an ornamental Plum?
