We have just replaced the sticky band on our Vicky Plum. The ants were very
busy but are fooled now.
Just a reminder, have you done yours?

I have a very old victoria plum tree which still produces gorgeous plums
but how do you deter wasps from damaging the fruit? because of the wasps
there is always more waste than edible fruit.
