    Plum Tree

    Hi

    I have a 5 year old Plum Tree which is having its leaves eaten by something. It blossomed as normal and has plenty of fruit showing. There are no obvious insects on the tree although I have woolly aphid on nearby apple trees (but none showing on the plum tree).

    Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause and/or how to deal with it ?

    Thanks

    Picture would be good. How much of the leaf is being eaten and is the tree completely leafless now. All sorts of insects eat or use leaves but usually not to any detriment to the tree. We really need more information to make an educated guess as to what is causing your problem.

      Look for caterpillars, particularly the looping kind.

        I use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
