the tree went in two years ago as a whip, had seven fruits last year and is very vigorous, with much blossom and beginnings of fruit this year. but now single branches have wilted and died, initially the lowest couple but now higher in the tree. i think it might be verticillium disease but can’t find what to do about it – any suggestions?
