Default Death of a plum tree ?

I planted a pot grown Victoria plum (on Pixie) early last summer. It
produced 2 plums and lost its leaves at the usual time. A week ago it
opened one flower bud at the end of a branch but, after that dropped,
nothing is happening. Soil around was on the dry side but with no leaves
it cannot be losing much water. I watered it well anyway. Does anyone
have any ideas ?

Thanks

Paul, I am no expert. I had plums in my last garden in England. When
did you prune the tree?



I don't think he did. Please read the post more carefully.
