What’s wrong with crab apple tree?

308 Views 2 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  ruffmagau
Our prairie rose crab apple was planted about six years ago, but for the last three the bark has been shedding and last year the leaves were half the normal size. Any idea what it is suffering from and how to treat?

That is most likely sun scald. Is it on the south west side of the tree? There's not much you can do about it at this point.

Yes, that is the south or southwest side. I never wrapped the trunk for winter until it started peeling.
