hello all,
I’m brand new to this forum, thanks for hosting,
I have a new property that came with several fruit trees, including an apricot. Last summer it had a great harvest with lots of delicious fruit. However, shortly after harvest, half of the tree died. And this summer the half that survived produced a few flowers but no fruit.
The tree has sap oozing from a few spots a few feet up the main trunk and from most of the branch joints throughout the tree. I don’t see any insects/scale bugs/etc. I’ve read that fruit tree borers are a common problem, but I would expect the problems to be at the bottom of the trunk.
I’ll attach a photo (only 1 allowed for new users).
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks, Kevin
