We have two behind the house, one of which is the non bearing one. But if it is useful to the other one, guess it stays.
We have two others I planted about 15 yrs ago, down the road a ways where we have a house trailer we rent out.
They both bear fruit, but may not be close enough to pollinate these behind the house.

It does seem strange that you already have 2 planted behind your house and one of them is the one that not bearing. You didn't state how long ago the trees were planted behind your house. I'm no expert on plums but some trees take up to 6+ years to bear. Maybe its a later variety. I doubt the ones at the trailer are any help to pollinate your at your house. I have a good pollinator within 50' of all of my trees
The plum trees behind the house are 8-10 yrs old. The one that bears fruit is in better soil than the other. It's never grown very big like the other, even tho they are probably 50-60 feet apart. There was a lot of gravel in the area of the non bearing tree. I didn't expect it to live, and it's maybe 1/3 of the size of the other.
I have my grape vine about 30 feet up the grade from the non bearing tree, and it does really well there. So..? I'm going to go with your first idea that the 2nd tree needs a pollinator and not cut it.
What did you say you were using to smoke your peppers? Cherry? Why did you decide to use that wood as opposed to peach or hickory, etc?

The batch of refrigerator hot sauce is now done. Although its good I think I will go back to all white oak wood smoke instead of using the tubes. The batch I done a couple of years ago had a more distinct smoke flavor. I have another batch that is fermenting and I will get it finished in a few days.

Looks pretty good. Tabasco hot or more like Louisiana hot or call 911 hot

Tabasco hot with a hint of garlic. I used white wine vinegar in this batch. Might be a touch hotter than regular Tabasco. I took a taste of about 1/2 a teaspoon and u could feel some heat. I used a 1/2 gallon and got 2 pints. A pint = 4 bottle with a little left but not much.
