Whilst an attractive and colourful tree, suitable for smaller gardens and larger gardens alike, the cherry plum does require a certain amount of maintenance to keep it looking pristine.
Fortunately it lends itself nicely to reductions, with its dense foliage and prolific growth. Care should be taken with this variety as they can be susceptible to certain fungi, making failure in larger stems quite common. This can be managed with regular pruning and visual assessments.
