One problem are the leaves look damaged. We haven't had any hail this year
so I'm assuming its a bug, but don't know what kind.

I've put pictures of all this online.

Hi Tyler,

Your leaf problem looks like it could be from Japanese
Beetles. They just love our flowering plum. Most of its
leaves are skeletonized now.

See the following for some info on Jap Beetles:

Most likely they are still out in force, eating away. I know
that they are plenty active in my area yet
