no, no insects on the leaves although some of the leaves have got small holes in them so it looks like something has nibbled them.

The tree looks in a worse state today, it actually looks dead now.

and no, i have never pruned it.

Did you prune the tree at any point; if so, when?

Could be fireblight?

I have a 3 year old plum tree and last year it produced quite a few fruit and this year it started to look promising with lots of fruit forming but i noticed at the weekend that the fruits have shrivelled and become black and that the leaves look like they have died (changed from green to yellow and gone a bit curly) but are still on the tree, at first i thought it was because we had had several days without rain but even with a good soaking it didnt help,

Any advice please?
