Managing plum trees

One of our plum trees is in full bud with heaps of them about ready to burst!



Our second plum however seems only to be budding on one side of the tree. What could the reason be?




I posted a couple of years ago about our plum: http://hackettgardener.blogspot.com/2008/05/pruning-and-preparing-plum-trees.html and whilst no plums yet the trees are pretty healthy.

Both are, however, on the south side of the front garden and don't get as many sunshine hours as they could. This may explain the lack of buds on one.
