Bark Loss on Apple Tree Limbs
I have a couple of 50yr old Baldwin apple trees in my back yard. One
in particular is starting to suffer bark loss on some of its main branches and some of the small emanating branches are dying. What underlying process is causing the bark loss? I assume this will eventally happen to all the branches and the tree will die. A silly queston perhaps, but is there any interventive treatment that might delay the tree's death? My conclusion is that the tree is most likely dying of old age, but I'm guessing "old age" is just a catch-all term for some combination of maladies that are probably impossible to treat. Or do trees simply have a have a life cycle? (Obviously I'm no arborist.) Thoughts appreciated. Frank |
