Any fruit tree experts

[Millie1]

We planted up a small orchard in Feb - cherries (wild & edible), plums, pear & apple. Trees were fine, all flowered beautifully however now i notice leaves have been eaten (or, are being eaten!) and some are going brown around the edges. Any ideas what it might be and what I should do please.

Thanks

Very interested because having some problems also

I found mine had "lodgers" and ~I used diluted washing up liquid and washed the areas affected to remove them.....not sure if its worked yet

The brown round the edges could be caused by the late frosts we had which nipped the new growth. Are the leaves being folded over or can you see any beasties living on them? Basic advice is to pick off anything you can find or remove any affected leaves but you might have too many trees for that.

You can get sprays that will kill off anything overwintering on the trees if the problam continues all summer as there will be eggs left to overwinter.

problem even

Thanks for replies. Can't see anything on leaves & they're not folded over. We haven't had any frost here for a few weeks and this has only happened in last week or ten days ... some of them have chunks missing. Am going back to give them a closer examination after school run!
