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 Eastern MA, Zone 6 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
