For these apple trees.

You can tell in the picture that we've had some strong winds, and it kind of tilted one of the trees over andwe'll have to stake it back up or cut it down, or transplant, not sure which, but it has severe rust and so does the one next to it, All the trees are slightly tilted from the wind we've had, but this one is bad. The root system is really shallow on that tree, and probably the one next to it too.

We've tried in the past to clear out the rust even sprayed in the beginning of the season before it ever arrived on the trees, and it didn't help. Now it has spread to the two trees of the right of the picture, they've not had rust before, and I see rust spots on it now. The apple trees are about 5 years old now, and we've neglected to take care of them because I hated to poison them, but their all going to die now, it seems anyways.
