drooping leaves on plum tree

[tammykins1968]

earlier this year when my mum passed (jan time) I removed a plum tree and 2 apple trees and put them in my garden , the apples are fine (although they were not pruned last year ,i plan to do it later late autumn) , the plum looks like it has drooping leaves. . dont know if its supposed to be this way? have posted a pic.

You have to remember Tammy that, when you put a plant in the ground, the first thing it wants to do is make roots. This can result in droopy leaves, what you must do to help the plant is keep the soil moist, but not sodden. So, if you have`nt watered the plant lately, get the watering can out.

thanks my other half said that too.( but obviously i never believe him ) I suppose my front garden is really well drained so i will go and water it now. Thanks David . Whens the best time to water morning or evening ? .

The best time to water is when the plant needs it, get the can out girl.
