Good evening, everyone! We need some help: there’s a relatively young tree in our garden plot. At first, we didn’t know what it was. For two years, Flora Incognita said it was a plum tree. Then, last year, this so-called plum tree had 3!!!! small yellow-orange fruits. Totally delicious! They might actually be apricots. We don’t actually like apricots that much, but those three fruits—we wanted more! And we were pretty optimistic that there would be more. The only problem, we thought, was that it blooms very early in the year (late February/early March). But now we get the impression that the tree is slowly dying. First a single small branch, and now almost half the tree. It’s in partial shade. There’s nothing around it. We have no idea what it might be lacking or what could be bothering it. We’d really appreciate any help!

Also die Bilder sind jetzt nicht nicht schlecht - aber ich erkenne eine Aprikose wenn ich sie sehe 🤩

Wahnsinn wie alt ist der Kumpel? 6-10 Jahre?

Wühlmäuse? Monilia?

Hm, eher nicht, denke ich, denn Wühlmäuse gibt’s bei uns nicht. Und Monila tritt durch die Blüte in den Baum, geblüht hat er aber kaum und Früchte gab es keine

Ich dachte letztes Jahr gab es 3 Früchte?

Ja letztes Jahr, dieses Jahr nichts, bedeutet es, dass der Baum evtl. schon letztes Jahr geschädigt wurde?
