Q.plums fall off tree

Zone 5.5 | poemeater added on July 3, 2015 | Answered

Plums get to about 1 to 2 inches but not ripe and the fall off the tree. I have tasted only 3 ripe plums in 5 years. All the rest are on the ground in various stages of unripeness.

Plums do not ripen all at the same on a tree.
It does sound like your tree could improve from some pruning and fruit thinning.
