Question
My trees have been planted for approximately 12 years.  This year when the trees began to bud, one of my trees did nothing.  The others flowered and leaved and this one tree now appears to be dead.  Could you explain what may have happened to it and if it may affect my other trees?

Answer
Budding and flowering is a prime example of the proper nutrients getting all the way out to the leaf tips and then supplied continually during the cycle and to fruit.

When the phloem and xylem are disrupted by pathogens, bacteria and fungus these nutrient passageways get blocked up and as a result the nutrients will not get out to the limb tips to perform blooms.

You need a systemic cleansing for your tree.  Chemicals and pesticides will kill the bacteria but then what.  The tree is still clogged with non moving particles.  

There is a remarkable new product on the market that will provide great results for you.  I have used it on Rare fruit etc and it is like a total tree flush.

Go to www.crowleynursery.net nursery tab  and get some Atomic Grow.

Good luck
