What could cause a whole hill of red apple to die? It's been healthy
for 15 years with very little care, now within a couple of months the
whole hill is brown. Looking up close, the roots and stalks that are
still green look fine.

I'll take some to the nursery this weekend and ask. My guess would be
some kind of disease, something filtering thru the soil from uphill
neighbor, or rats or squirrels eating it.

Any guesses?


I can't answer your question but here is a list of land grant
universities in the U.S.

One of the things a land grant university does is conduct
agricultural research. The University of Nebraska in Lincoln
publishes something called NebGuides. This
http://extensionpubs.unl.edu/# is the website. YOu might
find something there.
