Title: Dwarf apple and pear tree
Post by: 123b on July 03, 2009, 09:59:41

I ordered 2 dwarf apple and a pear tree from a catalogue, they arrived yesterday.
Poor things were a bit dried up in their packing, so I popped them straight into a tray of water. I have now noticed that the pears leaves are a bit dried and yellow, and some of the leaves have small grey spots on them. One of the apples has a fine grey dust on a couple of leaves - some sort of mould maybe??

Does anyone know if they should recover, or should I get onto the catalogue to send replacements?

Thanks!

Are they in pots? It's really the wrong time of the year for planting them if they're not in pots......I mean grown in pots not just put in a pot of soil and posted.
