March 24, 2019Q.Plum Tree Problem
I believe my plum tree has more than one problem at this time. First, I was told that there was a borer of some kind and treated the tree for that problem. The tree was losing large branches and so we treated the tree through the the root system and removed the dead branches. But now the tree has at least two types of fungus growing on the trunk and part way up the branches (one fungus is green and scaly looking and the other looks like mushrooms). We also have a woodpecker that has taken up residency in one part of the trunk that is dead. What do I need to treat this tree with to help save it? It is flowering and trying hard to produce fruit but we keep losing a branch or two each season and the trunk is splitting. Help?

March 24, 2019A.Multiple issues and disease are attacking your tree and with a steady decline may not be able to be saved.
A healthy plum tree can live productively for 20 to 30 years, but a sick tree may have a much shorter life.

April 18, 2019A.It is, but you will want to look toward Japanese, or European plums... These will be the most hardy in your area.

Certified ExpertA.I couldn't see examples of the eggs, but there are many fungal infections that look like eggs. The rest of the tree does appear to have sustained a fungal infection. This can happen in places where there is a lot of rain, and very little time to completely dry out in between.
Such areas will require a little foresight for prevention. Using DOLOMITIC lime and WETTABLE sulfur together will be a good preventative, as well as spot treatment.
These may best be purchased online.
If the problem still persists in a year, then harsh copper fungicides may be in order. Consult with all local laws regarding the use of such products before using them.

May 18, 2019A.You could start with a soil test; you may have too much nitrogen in the soil; limiting fruit production.
You also may need some pollination help.
