Why are the leaves on my plum tree curling under?

Our Advice:

Your tree has been attacked by plum leaf-curling aphid. You may find a white covering of skeletons on the leaves as well. To control this pest spray the tree (or as much as you can reach) with BugClear for Fruit & Veg from Scott's or Resolva Bug Killer from Westland.
