Will it recover?

Been a few weeks since I’ve been at the land, and my crabapple looks like the Japanese Beetles had a good time with it? Will it recover or no?

Spray and it should be fine. Might be next year before it looks good again.

Yep, it will grow new leaves back within a couple weeks. But it can only get by doing that once a season.

We've had that happen to some of our trees at camp. They come back. Spray & wait. Next year, try - if you can - to watch for the first Japs to appear ............. then hammer the spray on them. Japs do the most damage to our trees. Strangely - they seem to prefer certain varieties over others. Don't know why.

Like a lion picking off the weakest gazelle, the Jap beetles are more than likely concentrating their efforts on your weakest trees. If they do happen to be certain varieties year after year, those varieties have something about them that makes them unhealthier than your other varieties.

My depend on when you planted it. If it is fully established it will probably live. Leaves look like it may be suffering from Iron Chlorosis as well.

It is a 3rd year tree.

It’ll be fine if it’s just jap beetle damage.
