| We've had very tropical weather with lots of rain last three weeks. Seems to have defeated the magic of my Earli-magic plum tree. Looks like most plums are heading to early rot. Nothing below the surface and the malady isn't affecting nearby J. plum varieties. Anyone know what this is? |

| Could be early stages of brown rot/black rot. |

| Could be, but I've never seen it here like that. The brown rot has always come later- plus the tree was sprayed with Indar 3 weeks ago. I will put some Indar on the tree when I get a chance to try to rescue some of the crop. I've never gotten black rot on plums so I don't know how it would look. |

| Could be injury, birds pecking? |

| I don't think it is animal or insect injury, haven't seen anything in the tree and I have plenty of other plums including a couple of methelys which ripen at about same time that have no similar damage. |

| sure looks like some type of fungal disease to me. |
