Is my Cistena Plum tree infected?

[nbp3665]

I recently planted a Cistena Plum tree two weeks ago. I noticed that a lot of the leaves have been eaten by some insect and the leaves have a spider web or lacy appearance not. Since planting the tree, we have had a lot of rain so. What can I do?

It sounds like some type of beetle. The larvae feed on the underside of the leaves sucking out the juice and the adults chew holes in the leaves. You don't say where you live, but you might want to take a sample of a twig with leaves attached in a sealed plastic bag to your local extension service.
