Sickly apple tree

Hi there

I've got a four year old James Grieve that has taken a turn for the worse. It came into leaf well and has loads of blossom, but the leaves and blossom on about three of the main branches have wilted and look really lifeless. Not brown, just limp. i noticed it about two days ago and thought that the dry spell has dehydrated it and that the wet weather might pick it up, but not so far. My other fruit trees are fine.

Any ideas?

Have you thought about giving the tree a soak with water anyway?

There has been limited amount of rain, and a lot of wind, that will dry the plant out loads.

Have you given it a feed recently, perhaps a liquid feed, or something like bonemeal, or blood fish and bone to give it a boost. It may just be lacking some nutrients.

Hope this Helps!
