Santa Rosa Plum Training/Pruning Help

Stephen,
I’ve had 2 Superior and one Toka for 3 seasons now, in my experience even tho Superior does have a bit of a “weepy” growth habit it is EXTREMELY vigorous, much more so than Toka. Some of its branches will easily grow 4-6 feet in a season! Here’s a pic of the 2 next to each other, planted the same year, Toka on the left. Note the difference in girth of the trunks already as well. I’d also like to point out that I just got done pruning both trees, barely touched the Toka, took tons of wood off Superior (yet its still has 3 times as much wood left as Toka)
