Plums grow best in areas where rainfall occasionally falls during the summer and the humidity stays low. Dry leaves and fruit during the growing season discourage plant disease. Most plant diseases attack plum trees when the weather is wet for an extended period of time.

Plum trees are temperate fruit trees and need chilling to produce fruit. Basically, chilling hours breaks down into how many hours after the leaves fall off the plum trees are the trees exposed to 45 degree Fahrenheit or low temperatures during the winter. In cold winter areas, this is not an issue, but in mild winter locations it can prevent the developing of a yearly plum crop. Picking plum tree varieties with low chilling hours helps with producing a successful harvest.

Will apricot and plum trees grow in the Midwest?

depends on the weather and variety of plum and apricot. mostly they need a rather cold winter requiring 300-600 cold hours to wake up properly, a mature tree will need about 10-12 liters of water per day (you can give it 30 liters every 3 days) and a sunny spring. you will get better flavour when there is a big temp difference between night and day during fruit growth in spring. I do not think so! check your temperature zone where i live its a zone 5 so when i bought my fruit trees i looked for a variety that will survive in zone 5. most nursery's have that info
