    Hi,

    anyone any idea what’s causing these bizarre holes in all my plum and apricot leaves?

    none of my other fruit trees are infected but all the plum and apricot ones are.

    Theres no visible signs of greenfly or slugs etc..

    Looks like snail damage or winter moth. Not much you can do at this stage but it's not too bad looking.

    Ah ok, thanks! So it shouldn’t kill the tree or reduce fruit production so?

    Have them on my aprium and pluot trees though my greengage is unaffected. The aprium is a aphid magnet, breaking my heart. Seems some varieties are more prone i guess.
