   I have beautiful plum trees.  The demand for plum jam is high.  Plum 
Curcullio is a problem and I refuse to spray.

   In the wild, when an infected plum falls on the ground, a weasel or a 
skunk or some other critter eats it, Curcullio and all.  It is a little late 
now but I should have planted my plum trees in an unfenced area.

   Until I find a, at least semi convenient, way to keep my plums from 
becoming wormy, I pick our supply of plums from the wild and each year, it 
seems, I dig out one more plum tree at home.
