@GinevraCat yeah lemons take year round care. Not for the faint of planning.
Plums are fun when they bear fruit, but ffs it's always middle of our summer hols away. Always have to tell neighbours and relatives to go and pick each day as it can yield 50+ kilos in a good summer

@erikcats I believe you about the yield. One of my childhood friends had a plum tree and we would run from the opposite side of the garden, yell 'vrot* plums!!!' and then attempt to barefoot ski through the slimy, rotting plums under the tree without faceplanting into them. Horrified admiration is how I view my childhood self. *rotten, it's an Afrikaans word that is firmly part of South African English.
