>From the description I also thought Japanese beetles.  And from my experiences here in central NC they seem to prefer plum trees over everything except possibly roses.

I was a bit dismayed when I noticed a lot of very holey leaves on my young plum trees.  Worst on the Alderman plum and a bit less on the Superior plum.  Looking closely at the plants I noticed several greenish gold black beetles about as big as the tip of finger and figured that this is what was eating the leaves.  I knocked as many as I could find into a container and dispatched them...  The trees are still small enough to do this without much effort, but it still takes time.  Any suggestions?
