Last fall I moved into an apartment with a plum tree in the front yard. I don’t know anything about plants or trees or fruit, and now that summer is here there are hundreds of plums dangling off this tree. They’re attracting millions of ants, as well as raccoons, possums, rats, and a few bold humans who I’ve caught plucking from the tree.

I guess I like plums? But there’s around a week left until they all fall to the ground and become a horrifying slurry, and I’d rather avoid that.

Any suggestions?

TLDR: Have plum tree, it’s bursting with plums, no idea what to do in order to avoid ant apocalypse

      It can be difficult to make it clear due to the pectins, but it doesn’t affect the flavor at all.
