chummer 5 year old buck + Aug 2, 2015 #1 i planted 5 libertys this spring and they all look like this. They are scattered in a plot with 20 other Apple trees that are all doing good to great. Any guesses as to why only the liberties are having problems.

chummer 5 year old buck + Aug 2, 2015 #2 I have sprayed them with Bonnie orchard spray. The last time was 3 weeks ago. I have not sprayed any weed killer near them. They are all spread out

I sprayed around some tree tubes but they were at least 50 yards away. Just strange it is only the liberties with other trees 15 yards away
