       aphids, or whatever they are, cant tell if they are harming the
       tree or not... hate to break up the party if they are helping
       matters..  :lol:
       Arkansas Black Apple Tree (supposed to be native here i think,
       not sure if its a graft or proprietary.)

       Bad as you have them they could cause them to defoliate and make
       kill it small as it is. Spay it with a insecticidal soap. Very
       cheap, you could use an ag oil also but it tends to burn the
       leaves this hot in the summer, or I think it does on young
       trees.

       [/quote]   Yes will work but try spraying before dark so as to
       allow time before the extreme heat hit those new shoots next
       day. Now the Arkansas Black is a old Heirloom apple that gets
       it's name justly as you will see when it starts producing, long
       storage life and makes great apple pies. I have one :thumbsup:
       The enterprise was developed to be a very disease resistant tree
       one of UK top picks. I have two :thumbsup: Dale ya need to start
       training those trees or all you going to have is a bush. Oh
       before I forget I want to thank ya very much for all the PC
       stuff you have been doing without it we be using pony express.

       they were a lot bushier til i pruned them early summer, i wanted
       to see which ones were suckers and which ones were my mains...
       but do you prune them during the summer time now? i was gonna
       wait til fall/winter when i pruned my vines.   was gonna try to
       get them sorta like my plums, where i have 3 main arms that
       spread out and eventually make a funnel type of canopy, with
       that opening in the middle.

       Sevin will kill them but I bet it will take several
       applications.
