Plums are not self-fertile. They need pollen from another tree or shrub.
Plums belong to the genus "prunus" and it has been argued that any other prunus tree or shrub should be able to successfully pollinate a plum blossom. However, there are a few considerations:
1) Getting the pollen from "father" to "mother". Bees, hover flies, moths, and other insects are the best way. Sometimes over short distances wind can do it. However the pollen has to get from point A to point B. You can try doing it yourself with a feather duster.
2) Timing of flowering. Unless the "father" and "mother" plants are blooming at the same time, they can't get together. This is critical. Warmer locations result in earlier blooming, so a plum tree on the sunny side of a house may bloom earlier than one on the shady side. Different varieties also bloom at different times.
3) Variety of plant. The best advice is that Asian plums will pollinate other Asian plums. Hybrid plums are best pollinated by wild plums. Hybrid plums will not pollinate other hybrid plums. See the University of Saskatchewan's article by Dr. Bob Bors and Rick Sawatsky.
If you are talking about a very warm climate like California, there may be varieties of plum with different considerations.

Added::: There are many varieties of European derived plums that are self pollinating. Green Gage is an excellent quality old European variety that can have green yellow skin. Asian derived plums (often called Japanese plums) need cross pollination with another Asian variety except for a few certain varieties like Santa Rosa It's a Japanese plum and it's self pollinating..
European and Asian plums will not cross pollinate....Check with your local plant nurseries there are several varieties of self-polinating plum trees available depending on your area/climate ect...
What else can I help you with?
If you have 10 apples trees how can you plant them so that you have 5 rows of 4 trees?
You can arrange the 10 apple trees in five rows with four trees in each row by planting the trees in a 4-2-4 pattern. Plant 4 trees in the first row, skip a space, then plant 2 trees in the second row, skip a space, and plant the remaining 4 trees in the third row. Repeat this pattern for the remaining rows.
Which part of plant accepts the pollen and pollination?
The female reproductive organ of a flower, called the stigma, is the part of the plant that receives the pollen during pollination. Pollen grains adhere to the stigma and then grow a pollen tube to transport the male gametes to the ovule for fertilization.
What trees do apples grow on?
Apples grow on apple trees, which belong to the Rosaceae family. Apple trees require cross-pollination from another variety to produce fruit and typically start bearing fruit 2-5 years after planting.
How can 7 trees be planted so that there are 6 rows in a straight line with each row having 3 trees?
Plant the in the shape of an arrowhead with intersecting lines from the middle bottom point. Plant the trees at every corner!!
2 parts in male plants?
Male plants have two main parts: the stamen and the pollen. The stamen is the male reproductive organ that produces pollen, which contains the male gametes necessary for fertilization. During pollination, the pollen is transferred from the stamen to the female reproductive organ of the plant for fertilization to occur.
Do you need 2 plum trees to produce fruit?
No, you do not necessarily need 2 plum trees to produce fruit. Some plum tree varieties are self-pollinating, meaning they can produce fruit on their own without needing another tree for pollination.
Do I need 2 plum trees to produce fruit?
No, you do not necessarily need 2 plum trees to produce fruit. Some plum tree varieties are self-pollinating, meaning they can produce fruit with just one tree. However, having two trees can increase the chances of successful pollination and fruit production.
Do you need 2 plum trees side by side in order to get plums?
no man we have 2 plum trees on either ends of the yard and our yard is 3 acres ROCK ON
How many types of pollination are there?
There are two main types of pollination: self-pollination, where the pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same plant, and cross-pollination, where the pollen is transferred between two plants of the same species.
What are the 2 different methods of pollination?
The two main types of pollination are self (or autogamous) pollination and cross (or heterogamous) pollination. Self pollination - is when pollination is tansfer from the anther to the stigma of the same flower. Cross pollintion - is when pollination is transfer from the anther to the stigma of another flower
Do you need 2 Stella cherry trees to bear fruit?
It depends on the variety. Many varieties of fruit tree are self-sterile, meaning that they cannot pollinate with themselves. Due to grafting, if you buy two trees of the same variety, they are genetically identical- basically they are the same tree. So, you need a different variety of the same fruit in order for cross pollination to occur. Some trees are more genetically compatible for cross pollination, which is why in nursery catalogs, different trees are said to be good pollinators. Commercial orchards often plant crab-apple trees in with the apples to ensure good pollination.

What month should a plum tree blossom?
Plum trees are best planted in late fall or early spring. October would be the best month to plant because the soil is moist with some warm summer sun. How is trickier. It depends if your growing from the seed or ordered and already half grown. Here is what I suggest you do: plant the seed into a flower pot in late August. A month before you plant it, make a hole 2 ft. deep and 4 ft. wide and fill it with organtic potting material- sorry, my dad says I have to go to bed GOOD LUCK!!
If you have 10 apples trees how can you plant them so that you have 5 rows of 4 trees?

Plant 4 trees in the first row, skip a space, then plant 2 trees in the second row, skip a space, and plant the remaining 4 trees in the third row. Repeat this pattern for the remaining rows.
Will 2 Victoria plums trees pollinate each other?
Victoria plums are self fertile so do not require another plum tree to pollinate them.
What is the difference between self pollination and cross pollination'?
In cross pollination there is wastage of pollen grains , but in self pollination there is no wastage of pollen grains.
Which part of plant accepts the pollen and pollination?
The female reproductive organ of a flower, called the stigma, is the part of the plant that receives the pollen during pollination. Pollen grains adhere to the stigma and then grow a pollen tube to transport the male gametes to the ovule for fertilization.
