Fruit on a plum tree????

In 2006 (hot summer) we had an abundance of plums on our plum tree. Last summer which was not great weather at all we had the lovely green leaves but only 1 plum! In 2006 we had over 200! Is this purely down to the weather or do they pruduce fruit every other year?

Your comment that you had lovely green leaves might be an indication that you over fertilized. We don't have plum trees in my area but over fertilization is a problem with citrus trees where all you get is growth of the tree but no fruit.
Reply:Yes you had a lot of wind during the blossom time and all the flowers got blown away before they were "furtilized' so to say. Thus no fruit.
