Fruits and Nuts: Problems with fruit trees again , 1 by kathy_ann

We had about 5 days of solid rain here several days w rain all day long. We sprayed our fruit trees right after the blossoms fell off (apples). I think we still sprayed too soon and I also read the amount of poison per gal wrong and prob doubled the poison. It was regular fruit tree spray that we used. This apple tree didn't get sprayed as much as the others. This one is newer. But the branches look aweful. We have this going on w this tree in the photo and one other larger older tree. But there is also a other older apple tree that was sprayed the same time and it is completely fine. I just wonder if it's our fault these trees look like this cause we used too much poison. Our pear trees look like this also and I have an aronia bush that has damage like this and it wasn't sprayed at all. Nor did it get over spray on it. The pear trees might have gotten over spray.

Any help would be appreciated.


Also. Were loosin leaves like the pic of the young apple tree. It hasn't been sprayed but lewves are just falling off like crazy. And is it bad to tie up a tree like we have in the one pic. I think the hoses might be causing damage. Going to cut them off tomorrow.
