I have a young apricot tree which suddenly started to
wilt a few days ago. Looks like it's dying.
I'm at loss what causes this.
The tree is about 4-5 years old, I think it is of
Goldcot variety, was bought from Stark Bro's. It
wintered well, has about 10 fruits still on the tree.
The foliage is extensively chewed by winter moth. I
don't think to the damage to be life-threatening
though because the tree still has plenty of leaves and
quite a few new shoots. It sits on a nice, sunny spot
with good soil, mulched by straw.
We have very wet spring this year. In fact it started
to wilt during last 2-3 day period of rain.
I poked ground around the tree under mulch and did not
find anything interesting.
Wonder if anybody can advise how to help the tree.
Can it save the tree if I cut most of the branches to
prevent water loss in case the problem is caused by
roots damage?
Thank you for the advice,
Andriy
