This bas dried out the sap from.the leaf celis, turning the color to a brown hue, often this will kîli the tree, since the celîs are dried out too much to absorb tbe sap coming from the roots. There is little that can be done, except to try to feed the trees wîtb a good analysis of plant food, sncb as cedar feeder, hedge and tree food,, water this in well, to get this rigbt into the root zone for fast, action: Prune back dark brown and damaged branch- es, to the part wbere the green' starts. This will reduce the sap from running out. There is still time te. prune your fruit trees, they sbould be pruned into the shape of a pyramid or Christmas tree, to allow the sun to cover the largest. tree, top area as possible, which will color your fruit to its best natural color.

Question of the Week We have a lot of mice damage in our privet hedge. Will it come back and wbat can we do to belp it... This depends on the extent of the damage. If the plant is completely girdled it will die, but if there is a small part of the green cambium layer still in tact under the outside bark, then the sap wilI be able to corne np from the roots through the cambium layer and it will likely survive. You can check, by taking a knife and slightly pry open the bark to see if any green is left, then paint the wound with a healing compound. Wbat's New Water eze".
