MissTB starts with ... In a week one of my nectarine trees has gone from being healthy to dying. I've cut away most of the infected branches and sprayed with oil. Does anyone know what it may be? I have 2 other nectarine trees that both look healthy and a number of other fruit trees that all look fine. Im worried this may be something that spreads. Any ideas? https://imgur.com/5406SPR https://imgur.com/StQ1lo1 https://imgur.com/eGdEF4w https://imgur.com/J7NeC1U https://imgur.com/m6CK1cn https://imgur.com/p1oRRBO | About the Author MissTB TTG 19th October 2019 9:50pm #UserID: 21084 Posts: 1 View All MissTB's Edible Fruit Trees |

Kephas says... MissTB, Your tree looks pretty good. Two weeks ago my tree had the same problem but, the entire thing was in the state of the foreground branch shown in your image J7NeC1U. It was absolutely covered in aphids. I was fairly sure I was going to lose the tree so, I doused it with Brunnings' Outdoor Surface Spray. Left that for two or three days then, sprayed it with the high pressure sprayer, from a reasonable distance, with the soap canister attached, to wash off the Surface Spray. Then, a second spray with clean water, to wash off the soap. That seemed to do the trick with the Aphids (their little bodies all stuck to the fence, behind). A couple of days after that, although the odd young branch is effectively cactus, there were new leaves sprouting up all over. I removed any growing fruit, applied an early dose of this Summer's fertiliser, a handful of Potash and, the tree seems to be doing great guns now. | About the Author KANGAROO FLAT 1st November 2019 1:55pm #UserID: 21048 Posts: 9 View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
