Just wanted to thank everyone for their contributions on this thread, it has turned in to a great one. This is a perfect example of what I love about this whole web site. I (or anyone else) can post about a problem, and suddenly we have experts who offer insights and possible explanations of the problem, as well as more novice fruit growers who share their own experience and confirm that this isn’t just happening to me. Both are equally helpful.
My experience is exactly like many of yours. My apricots started off great this spring and leafed out to about 1/2 inch or so, then everything wilted and the trees died-just like many of you. We did have a VERY wet spring, so that could be it from what you guys are saying. But some of the diseases linked also sound remarkably similar to what happened to my trees, so I’m reading up on those.
