I'm a little worried about my Victoria plum at the moment. As you can see the leaves are browning and curling.
I bought the plum 2 years ago as a feathered maiden and this is the first year it has flowered and fruited. It is in an 18 inch pot, in a mix of topsoil and John Innes No.3 and really needs to move up a size, which I shall do this Autumn, but I don't believe that is the problem. Keeping fruit trees in pots is a precarious business. Constant attention needs to be paid to watering and feeding and I think this is either a vitamin/nutrient deficiency or possibly wind blast.
Anyway, I have given it a feed of Tomorite and will mix some chicken pellets into the soil in the hope that it will recover and not drop the fruit.
