Do you have 2 or more trees? Plums are usually NOT self pollinating.

Unless it's Santa Rosa you probably won't get any fruit. If you have a neighbor/friend with a Santa Rosa, you can cut some flowering branches and put them in a jar of water at the base of the tree and get some fruit that way. As long as the bees are cooperative.

Can we see a picture of the tree and its surroundings?

Santa Rosa in front of pic, Peach tree in the rear near the pond, peach tree bears fruit , plum tree only leaves

Huh. Good healthy tree and no fruit. Usually the problem with Santa Rosa is OVER-production! I know it will be another year, but try the branch thing anyway. The tree may have been mislabeled.

Thanks , as soon as they're available I'll get another and plant it nearby ,

Unless the flowers have been fertilized, the seeds will not develop into fruit. In some instances a male version of the tree needs to be close by so that pollination takes place.

Or try grafting a branch on.
