I bought the Plum tree in May watered the hole after planting it watered it again went on holiday for two weeks when we arrived home we had tiny plums on it but the end of the leaves started curling over then the plums and the leaves turned brown but are still on the tree, can you tell me if we have lost it or will it recover.
Hmm, going on holiday and not having a neighbour water your plants wasn't the best thing to do, especially with the weather we have just had. You may be lucky and it may still be alive but it probably hasn't had enough time to put roots down deeply enough into the soil to withstand a shock like that.

Keep watering it and hope for the best.
Thanks for your reply, someone told me Epsom salts might help is this right or shall I just keep watering it.
I've never heard of Epsom salts as a reviver of half dead plants. I think that your plum tree has had enough surprises for now. Just water it I think.
