Hey everyone. This tree has its own thread Here, but I wanted to request a more detailed opinion on an issue and a potential resolution.
After pulling from winter storage the tree had the standard winter foliage color across the board. The far left trunk though was slightly different. I still thought it was winter color. Well everything else greened ( or blued) up nicely while that far left trunk struggled and began browning at the tips. I think this issue is a leftover problem that I dealt with from my Disaster last year. I’ve had a steady rotation of daconil and infuse and I’ve got some growth pushing from that trunk. Mancozeb is not available where I live. But it’s awfully sparse. Some tips on the other trunks have browned but I pinch those out. Overall it seems healthy and the two trunks in the middle and right are pushing a ton of healthy growth.
Should I continue to treat and try to regrow the branches on that diseased trunk and continue down its current path?
should I completely remove that left trunk and restyle with the two remaining trunks, using the existing foliage to fill voids? The lowest branch on the main trunk was wrapped around to the right hand side and is quite long. It could easily be wrapped around to the left hand side to fill the space left.
will removing that entire struggling trunk improve the overall health of the whole?
