Good morning all!
This year devoted one corner of my lot to make a little fruit tree garden. Some dwarf cherries, apricots, pears and two plum trees.
Every tree looked and looks fine, all strong, all flowered well... All except one plum tree Two days ago, leafs started become very droopy, and no change as of this morning. Still all very green, but looks very sad with those droopy leafs. It's brother/sister some feet apart looks just fine...
Any suggestions? Any special concoction I can make to "wake it up"?
Regards,
D

Genus Prunus is famous for it's suceptibility to fungal disease...
A weekly foliage spray of milk to water, 1 to 10, helps set up biological anti-fungal defenses, but is not as good a curative as it is a preventative. Spray them all to prevent a possible further infection...
Is ther a difference in water from the others? Root damage? (Are there truck and cars driving and parking near it?) I'd send a sample to my state extension service right away; usually not much cost and a pretty good take on what the issue might be. OR images here helps a lot...
