Long time gone

Well, I haven't been around for a while.  What's up?  My three year old Stanley Plum looks like it's dying.  All the leaves suddenly drooped and now they're withering and curling up.  What could be wrong?  We've had bouts of intense heat, followed by short monsoon rains, then more intense heat.  Also, do young plum trees need full sun? Because

Stanley plum

[goodliver]

Any fruit yet? We have a Stanley plum planted several years ago and it has yet to bear fruit, though it is quite healthy. It's planted in full sun. How many leaves are dropping? Is it a localized problem on one branch or more serious? I don't really have an answer, but will follow your care of this tree with interest. I'll ask around the organic farm near our tiny orchard and see what the neighbors say.
