I was riding my sxs past a few of my fruit trees yesterday when I noticed quite a few dead leaves on this Eliza’s Choice crab. I have no idea what is causing it. Thirty feet away is a Fuyu persimmon that died earlier this year.
Thirty feet to the east are a granny smith and an Arkansas Black apple that have each been stripped of all but one apple each by coons - and these apples arent ripe for three months yet
Further down the same row of trees, the pears have been decimated by fireblight
100 yards away - the peach and nectarine trees were all stripped of their fruit - regardless of duct work on the trunks and protective netting over the tree and removal of several dozen coons and possums in the last two months. The pear trees that were loaded have already been stripped of pears.
I spend far more time working on and around my 30 fruit trees - spraying, pruning, $100’s watering, etc - than I do my 40 acres of food plots.
This Eliza’s Choice was the last straw.
