Apple tree question

8 years ago

Hello everyone,

Fruit tree beginner here with a question in regard to recently planted apple trees. About 1 month ago I planted 2 bareroot apple whips (wine crisp and goldrush, both on G30 rootstock) with plans to train as an espalier. Despite spiral tree wraps and chicken wire, it appears they may have been damaged. I just noticed this today. I don’t really know much about apple diseases, but it appears to be a black area around an area of bark damage and the location near the graft has me a little worried. My neighbor recommended treating with daconil, but wasn’t sure what it was. Anyone with more experience have any thoughts?

I appreciate any help!


Thanks, Matt
