Can anyone help me with my problem. Bought a victoria plum tree 4 years ago which had three plums on the first year. Since then it neither blossoms not fruits and has poor quality leaves with lacy holes in them. Lately I noticed a branch had died and I removed it. Is it beyond help.
Hi Wellygirl
Can you tell us a bit more about your plum tree? Where it's planted? What sort of soil? How much sunlight it gets? Watering and feeding regime etc?
A photo or two would be helpful too.

Plum tree is planted in fairly sheltered position but soil may be the problem as it is heavy clay. Gets loads of sunlight but as to feeding and watering I feed occasionally but leave it up to the weather for water. If I were to replant with better drainage do you think it would solve the problem? Tree is now 7ft tall!
plums did not appear last year however bounty this year and they are really tasty and sweet. not sure why no harvest last year, some members may be able to advise me however a picture attached shows the crop ready for harvest happy gardening
