Plums do ripen after they are picked. Place the picked plums in a spot that is between 68 and 77 degrees F. You can also put the plums in a brown paper bag to ripen a bit quicker. It’s suggested that you thin the plums early in the spring when they first start growing so that you the ones left on the branches will grow bigger and tastier. This also prevents the branches from breaking under the weight of all those plums.
