seneca plum

[cecil39]

I planted a seneca plum last year, but have just noticed that it has hundreds of clusters of very tiny flower buds on it already, surely this is too early to bud as seneca is a late plum, and is meant to be extra big fruit, but this looks like the sort of buds you would expect from a cherry plum, I am wondering if I have been sold the wrong tree, has anyone out there any experience of the seneca? if so I would be pleased to hear from you.

sorry don't know anything about plums...but my peach tree is in bud and some are opening also my apple tree - the same...

You really need to wait until it fruits(you do have a cross-pollinator nearby, dont you?).If you get fruit that is not large with red skin(yellow flesh) you probably haven't got a Seneca Plum.Also remember that Nature is currently playing catch-up so apparently early blossom is nothing to be concerned about.
