tree was transplanted about two months ago and seemed to be doing good but past two weeks has developed spots on green leaves and leaves are turning yellow....what is it and what can we do to stop it?
Yellowing leaves could be stress, watering issues or something more serious.

In June, starting at the top, something systematically ate all the leaves along the top branches of on of my mirabelle plum trees. In July, this something ate the middle section off the 2nd mirabelle plum tree. The mirabelle's are separated by a different type of plum tree in between the two, that has been untouched by this leaf eating thing. Also, the grape and cherry trees on the other side of the mirabelle's have not been touched. All these trees are espaliered along our fence. It must happen at night because I can't find anything. I live in Menlo Park CA 94025.
It seems likely that it is either a caterpillar or a moth. There are many options available, and many of those can be crafted using items that you already have.

Previous owner planted a thundercloud plum tree too close to the porch. The thundercloud plum looks like it is overshadowing the house, and some branches have above the roof of the porch. Should I remove or severely trim it? Attached is the picture of the plum tree. I'm thinking of replacing the plum tree with a kwanzan cherry tree, but plant it further from the porch. A nursery that sells kwanzan tree states its mature growth is 15-25 ft tall and wide. Is this accurate? Some nurseries claim kwanzan cherry trees grow up to 30 ft.
Complete removal will be quite difficult. I don't see the tree causing much issue. These can handle being pruned somewhat heavily right after the blooms drop, so that will be the best way to maintain the size and shape of the shrub. Pruning too late, or early will keep it from flowering next year, so it is important only do to so right as it is done flowering.
Should you choose to replace it, then you will be replacing with a much larger tree. It is always best to assume that it can get a little bigger than stated. This will keep you from planting too close.
Ultimately, the call is up to you. It can be quite a pain to remove a tree, and keep it from coming back from roots and seedlings, though.

I found a fruit tree today on some family property that has the smooth, shiny skin of a plum, but the color, taste, and texture of an apricot. They're about an inch in diameter, very sweet and tasty. I thought I heard a relative say a long time ago that they were a special type of plum, and the two trees I found have been there for a long time. Appreciate your help.
Great find! You may have discovered a Plumcot or Pluot.
