Default Death of a plum tree ?
The message

from contains these words:

Some of the leaves appeared as normal, looked very healthy and have
since wilted, but leaves on the same stem are ok. It is very puzzling.

Sounds like you have damaged the roots and the sap isn't getting to the
branches, only to the stem.

Try keeping the soil a little moister than normally you would, to give
it a chance to recover.
