The top part of the character is the radical for tree, and the bottom part is the baby character, meaning that a plum is a tree baby. I remember that because it sounds cute

The top part of the plum is slightly “woody” just like the top part of 李. The bottom part is round and has a small butt in the bottom just like the bottom part of 李.

One way to remember the 木 would be to think of a person that is standing in a “T” shape, but instead of only having two arms going out to the side, this person can have four arms and are out diagonally as well. As long as you remember that, you can add the 子 under the 木 and remember 子 as half written Z with a line under it and also a line that crosses over horizontally.
