Asked July 10, 2024, 12:52 PM EDT

My trees are about 7 yeas old. planted 3 clumps of flowering plums. they are about 18 ft tall. for the first time ever they have produced plums. first question---are they toxic to dogs????  Second, they are covered in purple spots and shriveling on the leaves. it has affected all the trees and looks like they are dying! Help! anything we can do? I took pictures and can text to a cell phone.
