Apple tree dead - cause? #804218
Asked August 02, 2022, 11:15 AM EDT
Hi we have now lost our third apple tree. All have been bud grafted on g202 or g935. They seem to be breaking off at the graft union, there's a black blotch visible inside. Any ideas about what could be going on? We do have mild deer activity, the trees are around 5 years old and only started to come into production. Very sad about this. Thank you for any help or guidance.
