Hi all, grateful for any help, we have a new plum tree, currently in it's original pot from the nursery and in our porch as we didn't have time to plant it outside yet and it's been a frosty winter. It has leaves and flowers on the top half and is starting to grow fruit, but the lower half of each branch is bare, and there were two lower branches that were totally bare – I've pruned these and they were dead and dry. It also has some 'cuts' in the bark I've noticed.
I've never had a fruit tree before so no idea what could be wrong – perhaps linked to it being in its original pot, or growing indoors (it's in an easy facing glass porch so gets direct sub for 6 hours or so, then indirect light until end of the afternoon).
Would really welcome any advice!
