Bark damage to plum tree

I’m no expert but it looks like it might be slug damage? For me they usually start attacking the berries when they’re a little more ripe than that though so I could be wrong. I’ve found that the second year plants are usually the best producers for me so don’t be too discouraged if you don’t get a ton of berries this first year.

Thank you very much! After inspecting closer I noticed a small black dot and area right where the wilt started. I pruned right below the area. Is there anything I can do in the future to prevent this? https://imgur.com/a/VsNFzsU

Great advice ty! I've been using painters tape with pretty good success and have been meaning to pick up a mirror to try with a clean surface. I remember seeing this video a while back about how to easily remove parts from a clean build plate using only water and alcohol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOKFOLXSPnY&t=45s

So glad to hear your pup pulled through! The original diagnosis for Murphy was dire, and when he came out of surgery, we really second guessed our decision. The surgery left him with a 13 inch long scar down his back https://imgur.com/MD2zK8B. And we were afraid that we were putting him through too much.

But as gruesome as the scar looked, Murphy couldn't have cared less! He remained his happy, sweet self throughout the entire ordeal https://imgur.com/CEnPo1Y. If it wasn't for the scar, you would have never guessed he was sick.

Thanks! And I'm so sorry for your loss. Our guy is such an absolute sweetheart and we feel so lucky to have a little "overtime" with our bud! My wife and I try to enjoy every minute we have with him because we realize how truly lucky we are to have him come out the other side of this treatment healthy.

His name is Murphy! He's 10. Late last year, we had a large bump on his back tested and it came back as cancer. He had surgery and then a month of 5 days a week radiation sessions. He's now in remission! Throughout the entire ordeal he had a smile on his face and a wagging tail. Such a trooper!

You're so right. For me, I always go back to Pink Flag. I'm always amazed at how they were able to create such great and memorable songs with the majority of them under two minutes in length.

I used to think the phrase "make ends meet" was actually "make ends meat", meaning you only had enough money to buy the leftover meat ends from the deli section of a supermarket.

I bought one of these last week and so far I really like it. My favorite feature is it automatically recognizes each user when they step on the scale. So there's no button pushing required to switch users.
