I don't know what to do. I can't see any bugs of any sort. The leaves seem to bubble up, then they curl up and die.

Any ideas?

These are a few links to common diseases with Plum trees. I don't know much about plums myself but I hope you can find out which disease it is and how to save your trees.

Check out Elenor's sites! But also, is the tree root bound? How old is the tree? How deep is it planted? People sometimes plant them tooo deep and that is not good. I had to make my friend re-plant her dogwood. The trunk was rotting because it was 2 deep.

the best to you, Gia!

It's called curl leaf. It's a tiny mite that happens to love plum, peach and nectarine trees and it's hard to get rid of. It sometimes causes those scabs you see like extra growths on fruit. I can't spray anything toxic on my trees so I may just take chances. Unless of course any of you have any better ideas?????

You might try a mild soapy water sprayed on the leaves.
