Plum tree vs ants nest
We planted a plum tree on top of an ants nest (i know).
Can anyone tell me what problems yhis might cause? Should we try to evacuate the ants, if so how?
Thanks

Try turning a hosepipe on and flooding them out. Or try ant powderin covered bait traps.
You'll need to water a newly planted fruit tree regularly, and ants like dry soil - they'll move on
