My Methley Plum Tree Has Many Plums This Year But The Seeds Are So Thin That They Break In Half And Make The Plum Hard To Eat.

Question

What can I do so this will not happen next year? The tree is about 12 years old. There is a clear jelly inside the seed.

This is, mostly, caused by grower interaction. Any attempt at a larger fruit than is allowed by the tree by, or overfeeding/watering, or any significant changes in care can cause this. Once conditions return to their proper state, the fruit will return to normal.
