Hello,
So sorry to hear your plum tree is suffering. Do you know what variety your plum tree is?
it's hard to see what is going on with your tree, but there are many problems plum trees are susceptible to: over/under watering and diseases such as fire blight.
To diagnose the problem conclusively, I'd suggest you bring in a sample of the leaves and our diagnosticians will take a look. Or you could request that the Master Gardener tree team come out for an on-site visit.

Thanks.
I’ll grab some leaves to bring by. I’ve already removed the trees so I can replace them but am trying to not repeat whatever killed these.
