Hi from Norfolk - pruning a plum tree

Welcome to the site 

I'm moving your post over to Grow Your Own as it's a question about growing your own, and have amended the title to reflect what your question is about. 

Feel free to pop back into the Welcome forum to tell us a bit about yourself; it would also help us to answer your questions if you could click your username to edit your forum profile to show Norfolk as your general location. 

Here`s the info you need;

One thing they don`t seem to make clear is to make sure you remove all the prunings and burn or dispose of them, re silver leaf disease.

So try and wait until a nice sunny day in June.

So how about shredding the prunings and adding them to the compost heap? 

That should be O.K. Just don`t leave the prunings around the base of the tree to attact the silver leaf fungus.

Thanks for the info.
