I had a plum tree that was just starting to produce fruit. I went out to the car one morning and seen all this black stuff all over it and looked around and my tree was completely filled with JB's.
Every leave was gone. Because it was located near my septic tank and the problems the roots could cause i desided to cut it down and put grub killer down .because with what looked like a billion JB's i didnt want to have it distroy any outher fruit trees in the yard. If you want to try to save it beause of the need for leaves to keep the roots alive you need to put grub killer around the tree and the width of the canopy of the tree.
