I have a 2 year old Stark GoldenGlo Miniature apricot tree in a container. It blooms well and has born some fruit, but I am afraid it has a disease of some sort. The bark is abnormally dark and all leaves have a burned look on their tips and margins. Anyone know what to do? Thanks in advance. Dan

Hi Dan,

Do you see any (honey colored/consistency) gummy oozing from the bark?

Are the affected stems dark, wrinkled and brittle?

See any cankers or lesions?

I don't see any sap or lesions but the leaves are all dropping starting with the new growth. The tips and edges look like they have been burned black.
