The plum may have various damages (burns, cracks). It is necessary to process everything with a garden boil. Damaged branches should be removed. And this is done in the period before the swelling of the buds.
If the buds have already appeared, you need to shake the sawfly on a sheet under the plum and destroy it. When the buds begin to bloom and up to flowering, you need to be especially careful.

Please note that the trees are not treated with chemicals during the flowering period. Plum trees also need to be monitored during fruit ripening. Affected ovaries should be collected and destroyed immediately. This will make it possible to reduce the population of pests.
The struggle is long and constant. This is a fact that should be known. If you want to harvest a good harvest of plums, you need to be careful and carry out preventive work at each stage of cultivation. This will give an opportunity to collect a generous harvest of plums.
