One of the things they left us was a mature apple tree. When we moved in I noticed that one entire limb was dead. I promptly cut it off. I happened to notice signs of lots of previous pruning on that side of the tree. Also, I noticed that a lot of the bark was peeling off. In the meantime, in mid-August, the leaves of another limb on that side turned yellow and brown, and just fell off! This year, That branch only started sprouting leaves about month after the rest of the tree did. The curious thing is; as this branch is growing leaves, leaves on other branches are turning brown and yellow and falling off! What in the world is going on with my tree? Quote \| Reply \| Report

If you think it is something that can be saved, perhaps have an arborist come how and evaluate it. I don't think it is something that can be diagnosed over the internet. Quote \| Reply \| Report

They're very helpful either helping diagnose problems or giving phone numbers to those that can help you. You might even inquire at a local orchard. Maybe they'll have some tips to help you.
