[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 1562361, member: 15537"] Haha :lol: The problem I was having is the upper limbs I can't reach had some issues and it was affecting the entire tree. One of the problems was the leaves would get little brown spots on them, which grew in size and finally the entire leaf would fall off. That spread to the lower leaves that I could spray and the spray didn't seem effective. I read "microfine sulfur" would help if it is apple scab, which I think it might be. It could also be cedar apple rust, which sulfur should help with also. The stuff I got was a powder, which I wasn't able to get on the tree too well in a water mix. I think it did work to some extent, but I want to get the dust up there. I did plant a few "standard" trees, which should get 20-30 ft tall. I am starting to think I should have kept with the dwarf and semi-dwarf trees. They don't produce as much, but they sure are easier to work with. I don't know what I will do when the standard trees get taller. Last time I pruned I used the biggest ladder I had (12 ft step ladder, I think), and I couldn't get the top branches that were in the center. Now I have a pole pruner, so that helps with that problem. [/QUOTE]
