Q.plums not looking right this year
last year the plums turned purple and were delicious. this year, we had a bad storm in March which may have affected the buds. I noticed the leaves curling and looking unhealthy before the buds started to produce the fruit. i haven’t noticed bugs on them however. I have been tossing out ‘grey water’ occasionally from my sink and was wondering if the small amount of soap in the water could be affecting the health of the tree?
attached are photos.

I believe you may have an Aphid issue on the tree.
