PLUMS first time they actually grew...what now?

I am in northern wi(Door County)
Years ago my daughter bought a tree from a magazine ad. It was called a Fruit Cocktail tree. She was just a kid when she bought it. We planted it. Each year it blossoms and has tiny green fruit which in the past always fell off early. This year the tree is actually making fruit which is turning ripe. And it appears to be some knid of Plum. They seem to fall off before they are ripe. Also on many I've noticed a spot on a plum that looks like grains of sand. If I cut open the fruit at the spot...it appears an insect has bored in there. Is it possible to pick this fruit early and ripen in the kitchen (like a tomato?) Or am I destined to have
these plums all fall off early and/or to be infested?
Should a tree like this be given a spay or something early in the season? Thanks |
