We have a plum tree (Satsuma I think) and it was pruned last year, so it's bearing a lot of fruit this year (where the blossoms weren't blown off by the wind). The fruits are always about the size of a small apricot. Why would that be? A co-worker said he started the tree from a discarded plum pit over 10 yrs. ago and he gave it to me, so the tree is mature.

If your tree was started from a pit from a commercial plum, then it was almost certainly a hybrid, and hybrids don't breed true.
This means that any tree grown from that pit will NOT have the characteristics of the parent plant, but of one of the two species crossed to GET the parent plant (the hybrid).
Bottom line: what you have is a variety of plum tree that is "programmed", if you will, to produce the size of fruit it is bearing.
And, yet...a little Miracle Grow couldn't hurt!

Miracle-Grow? Consult a nursery. We have so many fruits available on Yahoo...you would have no difficulty in finding the biggest fruit of all.

It has been a strange year for fruits all over the country, it could be as simple as not enough water in the spring time.

To get bigger fruit, you will need to thin out the fruit early in the summer. Check out the link below:

do not difficulty about it. only proceed to provide a range of ingredients. in case you start up with a small volume of insects or shrimp, the turtle might want to proceed ingesting once they're complete and start up on the vegetables.
