Re: Help plum problem
I collected a big peach in winter last year and thought spring it was doing well
Shooting back and happy until we started to get warm days in Early summer. it turned its toes up and carked it
no green under the bark and when I too out of the pot it had developed no roots. Obviously it was shooting on only the Stored energy
Keep the water up and I would not fertilize yet but use seasol only
hope it recovers

Re: Help plum problem
Without seeing pics its hard to be certain but it sounds like a nutrient defiency. Have you fed the tree at all? & if so what with?

Re: Help plum problem
Keep your pot in water and seasol to 1/2 pot depth, mist spray leaves and keep it in the shade.

Re: Help plum problem
Seasol is NOT a fertiliser. Trees need food just like we do to grow strong & healthy.
I would start your tree on half strength of whatever liquid fertiliser you have, every 4 days for the next few weeks and once the weather starts to cool then feed per normal.
I treat my collected trees just like any other repotted tree, that includes feeding. I feed as soon as they start breaking buds, starting with a half strength then up to full strength after 1mth. I stop feeding in early december for most exotics & then start again around feb march depending on weather.

Re: Help plum problem
A pic of the leaves would help, but I've had awful problems with mites this year. leaves turning yellow etc...
