Answer 1

You can not do anything at this moment...................but when the leaves falls from the tree you have to start a fall dormant oil treatment...................and again in the spring up to the bud stage..................after the bud opens, I just spray the trunk.............you have to do that every year...........when you do the spring spray start as soon as the snow melts..............also in the spring give the tree a good rake around and put down some composted horsemanure and check the ph.....should be 6.0-8.0....it might need some lime.
