Plum Tree

[Icemaiden23]

My plum tree appears to have some sort of disease. The leaves have totally bobbled and are brownish. I planted it last year and noticed the beginning of this but removed the diseased leaves at the time. Because it is deciduous I forgot about it until now. Any advice would be appreciated or any website info. Thanks.

Hi Icemaiden,
First, check underneath the leaves, to see if you can see any little bugs, if there are, then a good bug spay should do the trick,
If not, then the probale cause would be either Potash or Manesium shortage, in which case, a Multi Tonic dug in aroun the base of the tree, however, you'll probably buy these items from a Garden Centre, so they would advise,

Good luck.

Apologies, forgot to mention, removing the diseased leaves was/is the right thing to do.
