Brambles Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hello folks looking for a bit of help or info on my Plum tree, started the spring with plenty flowers and when leaf started to show and flourish it looked the picture of health, now it's looking rather lack luster and leaves seem dry and shrivelled, still showing plenty of young budding fruit, any help regarding me getting it put right would be grateful appreciated 🖒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjaferret Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Water it and give it a dose of miracle grow, plum trees are always the first to dry out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted May 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 It's been well watered and fed all through the dry spell, was wondering if there's some sort of parasite or fly that can cause this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Winter wash end of this year and regular treatment for aphids,, you can treat for aphids not but its likely the fruit crop will be affected already. You will probably find some little grubs curled up in the leaves too. could be plum moth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
