One of our plum fruit trees that did so well last year is sick now! Most of the tree looks dead, and the few leaves (mostly at the top, at the end of the branches) look like they've got holes in them. No black knot that we see. We had a late frost, could that be all?
I've seen a lot of Plums kicking it in similar fashion this spring. Are you seeing any bark splitting, swelling, or dropping?
