Bluediamondred starts with ... We have a recurrent problem with some of our fruit trees at our property. Unfortunately 100% of the time resulting in death of the fruit tree. We noticed on each of the trees that on one branch of the tree the leaves would fall off the very top and the branch would start to wither/looking like it is dehydrating from the tip and the branch continues to dry out/die off further and further down the tree until all of the tree dies. We have tried snipping the tree off to its healthiest point, spraying with insect spray to get rid of the ants, watering with seasol to help with tree health, even replanting one of the trees to another spot just in case it was the location of the tree. It has happened to a cherry tree, an apricot tree and now another variety of cherry tree all in different locations around our property. Each of the trees had been planted in the ground for a minimum of 12 months to two years, developed well and then all of a sudden start dying from the top downwards. Unfortunately I have noticed one of our trees starting to develop these symptoms and I would really love to save the tree from dying if I can. If you are able to help we would be greatly appreciative. Thank you

Brain says... One of my cherry tree had a die back problem from the top, as you described, it wrinkles and the branch/section dies from right at the top. Though mine is largely due to stress caused by the dry. However, looking at your pics, yours seems to be getting sufficient water and looks healthy. My only guess is, the tree is not getting enough nutrition to cause the die back. Happens to my citrus all the time. What is your fertiliser and watering regime like? And the soil? | About the Author Brain Brisbane 18th April 2014 10:57pm #UserID: 6289 Posts: 638 View All Brain's Edible Fruit Trees |
