Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

I have a problem with my fruit trees and I really need your help! It started a couple of years ago. After the pedal drop, I noticed that the tips of the branches were dying back, turning brown. The branch near the tip would turn black and if left unchecked, would progress down the tree. I began to cut off the sick portion and it would slow down the progression, but would not go away. This year it has seemed to spread to all my fruit trees and has gotten worse. I have lost one pear tree because of it. I am having to cut more tips and a portion of branches off than ever before. I have been using A Complete Fruit Tree Spray by Binide, but it does not seem to help. Please give me some guidance for I fear I may loose all my fruit trees! Thanks! Roger

Sick Tree Treatment, Tree Questions
Sounds like a fungal disease, you can either spread corn meal and Sick Tree Treatment around the root zone of the trees or try another organic fungal treatment like GP's Garlic Fungicide. If it is a soil borne fungus there is really nothing you can do. After the trees die off you can remove the contaminated soil and bring in fresh soil. You might want to have an arborist come out and look at the trees.
