    Sick Crabapple tree
    I have 4 crabapple tree's, one is looking very sick with dead limbs all over it . It still has some life because it still has leaves on it and crabapples growing on it. But I would like to stop the destruction before the tree dies. Do you have any suggestions on how I can save the tree?

    Hi! grl4glenn, and Welcome to UDT :)

    Can you match any of the leaves with images from this site?

    Then you may have apple scab.
    If you see tiny holes in the bark, then a type of borer or worm.

    Usually, when a homeowner sees these two problems there is only two ways to go.
    Hire a professional tree doctor. He's the only one that can obtain the Oils, Fungicides, and pesticides to cure these problems.
    I know you don't want to hear this, but you may have to cut this one down to save the other three... If they are not already infected.
