I have a plum tree which has always been in blosom and has produced
lots of flowers and lots of plums and then all of a sudden the leave
have started to dry up and curl up. Nothing has changed and it is
about 15 years old

Would anyone be able to tell me what could be wrong with it and what
the remedy could be

Cheers

John
