jojo,
I have *so* many starters! I probably have 25 little 3-4 inch plants. We
have new people moving in behind us, developing, so I have been waiting for
him to get done (at least on the property line, so he doesn't run them over)
before I put them in the ground.

With hope and heart,
Kathleen

I've been busy this summer, and yes, I have not looked at this tree in a
while.
I noticed it this morning, because some vine had grown up in it and were
blooming on top.
Then I took a closer look.
OMG!!!

This "tree" is kinda bushy, and all of the leaves on the lower part are
GONE!
just green twigs left.

The upper part is sparsely leafed, with obvious bite marks in the
remaining
leaves.

What do I do? Is there any hope?

Kathleen, got any of those starters left from freecycle?

ACK!!
