I think you should read the post more carefully, where in it does it say
anything about pruning? Judith asked a valid question which may have
impact
on his problem


It does not say anything in the original post about pruning but having quite
a few plum tree trees myself I know how they hate it. I was wondering if
he'd pruned them at the wrong time.
I did read the post carefully. I was asking if It had been pruned recently
which might have an impact on its death.
