1 Answer

Answer :

The tree is putting all its energy on producing the flowers for the next generation.  The shock of the cold weather coupled with the apparent lack of water has triggered a survival mode in the tree itself.  To save your tree buy some plant food and mix it with calcuim (powered egg shells) and lots of water, then each day pour 1/2 pint to a full pint at the base of the tree (but not all in one spot).  Do this for about 2 weeks and you will see a noticable difference. -Birdy
