Jim Furth,

 

Your question is interesting, as my little dwarf orchard of about 25 mixed trees is infested with curculio.  The apples are particularly susceptible.  I make war, not love on curculio.  But my four plums are untouched (Shiro, Superior, Methley, Stanley).  Is it because there are other more tasty treats in the vicinity?  I really get no curculio damage on their namesake!
