Amazing, this training system maximizes leaves’ sun exposure. Thanks for sharing!

I wonder how they deal with all the shoots coming straight up, it looks like they must summer prune them out since it looks like the mature fruits are getting a lot of light. My plum trees are similar in that there is only a thin layer where there is fruit, around 6-8’ high, but I don’t summer prune. I should do that. For me the narrow fruiting plane is mainly to get them above deer but low enough to not need a ladder to pick.

Is that Sumo plum available in the U.S. or a similar variety that gets as large?

That is a really good question. I researched it briefly before I posted this and couldn’t find anything in the US.
