Scott,

Thanks for your insight. I will print out yours, and other's, helpful ideas and pass it on to my neighbor. But--like I said in my original post, I know he will not do anything much about it.

Is there anything that can be sprayed on the plums so the Moths won't bite them?

About the bagging the fruits. Do you mean you put a bag over the entire branch with the plums on it? Would it affect the plums if they do not get any light? How about old pantyhose? Nothing will eat through them!

What part of baltimore do you live in? I am in Perry Hall.

Thanks, Gita


Backyardzoo--
I went out and took a picture of a stem, since you mentioned the sores you saw. Seems to me a lot of fruit trees have very rough, scabby branches. Just the way they are... I may be totally wrong here also.

Anyway, here's the picture. I tried to lighten it up, but you still cannot see much as this is under the tree's canopy.
