Have you tried digging into the ground with a twig or a finger a few inches? Sometimes you will find the top half inch wet where you've watered it, but the ground underneath dry - I've been gardening for years, and I still get caught out!
Unless you have had rainfall of at least 1.5cm within the last few days, every week put a full 2gal watering can of water on to the square foot of ground around the plum. You may need to do this twice or 3 times a week if you're having hot sunny days.
Actually - how do you know they have discoloured? Do you have some darker leaves to compare them with? And remember that new growth is always lighter green than older growth.
