Hi Brian,

If the tree is budding and there is no further sign of disease, it would definitely be worthwhile nursing the tree along. If you haven't already done so, you can give the tree a winter spray with Liquid Copper. If the buds are starting to move, spray with the Liquid Copper and then repeat the spray 7 - 10 days later. Follow the directions on the label for a further spray in autumn at leaf fall. Goodd luck with your tree
