Wind injury
Strong, persistent wind can damage plums and prunes by dehydrating the leaves or even stunting the growth
of young trees. Drying winds cause bronzing, pitting, and curling of leaves, mostly on the outside of
the canopy exposed to the wind. Strong winds may cause fruit to rub against twigs or thorns and develop
scars.
