I bought a Santa Rosa? plum tree from Walmart about a month ago. It was scrawny, had few leaves left, and didn't look very healthy. I paid $10.00 for it, so I wasn't too concerned about the likelyhood of it dying. (Plus it's gauranteed for a year). I planted it according to the instructions.
It's still green, but doesn't seem to have grown any new leaves or stems. A few leaves have fallen off. It apears to have rust colored areas here and there on some leaves, as well as on the stems. Some of the leaves have holes in them, not sure if it's from insects or poor nutrition. For care, it said to water daily until established, then water when ground is dry. I have been trying to do that, although I'm not sure it's even established yet, as there has been no new growth.
I also bought an orange tree, and it's doing very well. Any ideas on what to do with the plum tree?
Thanks in advance!
