A friend of mine has bought some Granny Smith apple trees (about 4ft 
tall). She planted and watered them correctly, but one of them seems
 dead. She called me to take a look at it, and I noticed tiny tubes of 
sawdust sticking out of the trunk of the tree. there are many pin 
sized holes
       on the tree. I thought it was a flat or round headed borer, but 
I thought they hit peach trees around the crown mostly and they would 
make holes much larger than these. On of the trees might have had it, 
but the other one seems to be doing well, though I did see 1 or 2 hole 
in it too. 

       Any suggestions of what it could be and what to do about them?
I know you need to spray apple trees, but she just got these in the 
ground a fews ago.
