i've finally been given an allotment and i'm growing apples and pears as bed dividers as step overs,

now i know that usually you grow plums as fans for best fruiting, but can you grow them a step over-like trees?

You'd have to keep them low or you'd risk bashing your plums as you stepped over.

If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
