Can anyone help, I have a small victoria plum tree which every year
produces wonderful embryo crop in spring, followed by leaves which
immediately curl up and look sick.
I have been told this may be peach leaf curl, and sprayed regularly all
last year. It looked marginally better but not much.
Last year I took off all the fruits because the tree looked so ill. Must I
do the same again ?
Is there a cure ? What is the best remedy ?
Any help appreciated.

I'll bet there are aphids inside the rolled up leaves.

Zap them with malathion, or something less noxious if you are organic.
