| Hi, I was walking around checking on my trees when I saw these scars on the upper branches of my Santa Rosa plum. They seemed fine last year ( summer and fall). The tree has similar scars on the bark at the base of the tree above the grafting point. Is this a fungal disease or is some insect attacking my plum? Or is this wind/winter damage? Any recommendation on what to do. My other Alderman plum does have any of such scars. I bought this tree about 3 years ago from Lowe's. I'm in NJ Jersey. Thanks, |

| Looks like the deer rubbed the bark off your tree. It will healed. You need to make a fence around it for protection. Tony |

| Thanks Tony. I put a fence around it last summer but I guess the deers got to it before. I'm glad it doesn't look like insect damage. |
