Our 5-year-old apricot tree's leaves are turning yellow from the top down. Is this normal fall foliage, or is there a problem? Also, should we trim any branches at this time of year?
You should expect your apricot tree to lose its leaves as it goes into dormancy for a couple months. Yellowing can also be a sign of nutrient deficiency. Apricots (as all fruit trees in some areas) need to be fertilized appropriately to compensate for the native soil deficiencies, if any. You can make an appointment with one of our arborists for inspection and pruning advice.
