This is the first time plums have developed on my Victoria. ;D
About 30% were ripe, so I picked them. I noticed very small holes in just about all of them. When I cut them open, they were black/brown around the stone. :'( No catapillar was found.
I examined some of the unripe ones today and could not see any holes. From what I have read, the catapilar attackes the fruit when it is first developing.
Do you think the rest will be ok?
If I placed Rhubarb leaves on the branches, do you think it will deter them like it does with gooseberry sawfly?
