Hi, I bought a Shropshire prune damson tree (4 year old) last year which I planted in my garden. We have chalky soil and although the tree has looked very green and healthy with small green fruits starting to come, I noticed a week or so ago that the fruits had started to shrivel up and change colour. Also there are a few yellow leaves appearing! What's happening to my precious tree? Is it the very hot weather and maybe lack of water, lack of nutrients or what?

I love the little mirabelle plums that you just can't buy. Think I'll have to grow some. Shall try the recipe - it sounds delicious!
