Default Wrinkled plums!!

If it's not a rude question, I wondered if anyone could suggest a reason that my plums seem to be wrinkled.
We've just returned off honeymoon so the garden has been a little neglected, but frankly the tree is very mature and I wouldn't have thought it would have suffered as a result.
The plums are similar to (if not actually??) Victoria plums and are ripe now, but the greatest proportion of them (esp. at the ends of the branches) are smaller than average and wrinkly, yet don't come off the tree easily when pulled.
Any ideas??
