Default Victoria Plum Woes

Hi all

I am fearing the worst with my victorias this year!

The fruit have got to about half size and stopped swelling.
Looking closer this weekend I see that some have skins that are
discoloured. Also, one or two have like a resinous eruption appearing.

Two images of the affected fruit are linked below.
The tree is bang up against an egremont russet apple tree but that
doesn't seem to have any issues.

Anyone know what's going on and how to resolve the problem if it's possible?

Thanks
