Seattle dry? Yeah, not much precip during summer, but I would think trees would find adequate water if the soil is reasonably deep and moderately rich. My first guess would be the trees are too thirsty to invest further in fruit. However, I’m far from being expert on fruit production near the northwestern coast- although I have spent considerable time in N. CA just north of Eureka in my sisters orchard. The soil never really gets dry enough there to force a plum tree to drop its fruit, as far as I know.

@murky some of my fruit trees ahead of schedule this year. I think because we had dry long summer. Even now almost end of September still not much rain yet.
