It could, very well, be due to the climate of your area. These trees are only hardy up to zone 8. San Diego spans zones 8-10, so there is a huge risk that your trees will not do well. If you live in the zone 8 area, you will have quite a bit of issue, since it does not get as cold as the trees will need in the winter time.
If you live anywhere but the zone 8 area, you will find it incredibly difficult to grow plums. It does not get anywhere near cold enough to support their growth. Unfortunately, the answer to this problem may be a different type of tree.
This article will offer information on the proper care of plums, which will help you to know the best way to try and keep it healthy:
