| Not sure what kind on plum, but my 7-8 year old plum tree (a great producer if I can keep the mockingbirds at bay) has dropped it's leaves for at least the last 2 or 3 years around August, then puts them back on again before winter. Is this common or do I have a supertree of sorts. : ) Any help is appreciated. |

| I'd suspect drought or some type of leaf disease like bacterial spot. If the tree produces what you want then don't be concerned. |
|
| Mine have been dropping leaves as well. With the current drought my trees are still only a year or two old and since I am only able to water on the weekends they tend to get stressed a little and drop their leaves. My plums and pears have all dropped a few leaves and now that it is getting cooler they are putting new leaves back on. |

| Thanks for the feedback. All seems to be well with it. We usually leave for vacation for a couple of weeks. Maybe the August heat stresses it. |
