    We planted a Victoria Plum last year and it’s grown well. The tree is only young (5 foot) and is grafted onto pixie root stock.

    I would prefer a bushier tree rather than a leggier one. Would you recommend pruning at this age or leaving until it’s more mature. If pruning is recommended, could you advise on where and how much?

    Thank you in advance.
