Hello everybody,

first, sorry for my English probably

so, I have an apricot. it started to grow normally, and then some of the small branches stopped developing and died. such dead small branches are distributed more or less equally throughout the tree and they are around 10% of total branches.. no big branch diad entirely.

this is the first time I see this so decided to ask.. I asked in local Ukrainian forum but still no reply so decided to ask at some English speaking, anyway it would be interesting to compare answers if I get any..

all other trees seems to be ok (I have apple, pear, cherry plum, peach)

I'm attaching a snapshot from the video made on the 9th of May (sorry for low quality, forgot to switch camera from video to photo)

Best,

Alex

I am no expert and hopefully those more knowledgable will chime in, but I suspect it might be the result of Peach Twig Borers.
