Most Common Plum Tree Diseases?

[Charli]

The brown rot fungus grows in the form of brown tufts on plum blossoms, fruits and small branches, and causes the flowers to wither and the fruits to rot. A lot of fruit destruction is also wrecked by the taphrina fungus, which creates hollow, enlarged spaces known as plum pockets in the plum fruits. The Podosphaera oxyacanthae fungus causes powdery mildew, a white powdery growth on the underside of the plum leaves that destroys the leaves and stunts the tree growth.
