Help! My apple tree is having problems. Recently I posted about a problem with little black winged creatures on my apple tree. They were identified on this forum as aphids. I have been spraying my tree with soapy water to get rid of the aphids, however they seem to have gotten worse. Although the ants are no longer climbing on my tree to eat them. But now the leaves on the tree are browning. Help. My tree is starting to look quite unhealthy. What do I do?
