Subject: [NAFEX] Beetles eating plum leaves

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?
