My purple leaf plum is infected with perennial canker

Sadly, one of the trees in my yard appears to be diseased. I noticed some dead branches last fall in the purple leaf plum and made a mental note to look more closely in the spring when the garden beneath it wouldn't be so overgrown. In spite of the disease, the tree's flowers this spring were lovely.

The purple leaf plum is in the backyard garden space that I've enjoyed from the kitchen window. The pink blooms were very pretty and nicely offset by the new purple leaves.
