More help please - my burnt fruit tree

10 years ago

I sprayed my fruit trees with malathian spray - accidentally high dose a day before. But very quickly realised and washed them off with my hose within an hour. Today morning I went to have a close look at the trees and I saw just mu nectarine trees have few leaves burnt. But I am thinking was this from the insecticide or the fertilizer I used about 10 days back which I missed to notice. Other trees look fine as of now.
My question is
Is the burning just a start?
Is it going to be worst?
Any way to save the tree?

Sometimes less is more...

JUST STAND BACK and leave it alone.

Yeah, just give the trees a chance to do their things. They're actually pretty good at it.
