I have three trees, Plum, Damson and Greengage. They are in desperate need of pruning to open them up and the Victoria especially is spreading too wide. According to my book, they should not be prunes over winter for fear of infection but should be pruned in the Spring/Summer when they are growing vigorously. The trouble is, if I do them then (now), I risk losing any of the few fruit they might have set. Is this just a bullet I'm going to have to bite?
