thank you for your answer, i will leave it a few more weeks to see if the leaves come out.

Sorry, I slightly misread your question. If there is no sign of leaves yet (I presume they would be appearing there by now) check the stems for any signs of weeping or bleeding. Hopefully none or it could be a bacterial infection. I would still leave i for a while yet anyway.

Hi Shirley. I presume the plant was bought over there?
It may well be on a rootstock that is more vigorous than ones used over here. I think once it becomes established (perhaps another 2-3 years) it will settle down to a flowering and fruiting routine.
Your climate is absolutely fine for plums and indeed any other stone fruit too, especially apricots, peaches and almonds.
