Could anyone kindly tell me what might be happening to the leaves on my plum tree? 99% of the leaves are perforated and some are yellowing. Here is a photo:

The soil is fairly clayey and alkaline. I lightky dug in some bone meal early this spring.
Many thanks for any insights.

PS... I should mention that I have another, younger plum tree, planted about 12 feet form the affected one, and it is not affected at all. Neither tree produced any blossom this year.

PPS... The plum tree in question has been supported by very rusty iron stake for about a year, because of windy conditions. Does rust poison trees?
