Neem oil follow directions on the bottle,but get pure Neem oil spray it on your trees remove a lot of the bad leaves and it should take care of it. It happened to me last year I purchased some trees from Louisiana late last summer. Next time quarantine your new trees. I treat all my new trees with neem oil and make sure they don't have rust before I put them with my older trees.

If you get pure oil you cut it one TLB spoon per gal,or as the directions say.I use it on my tomato plants,and trees,to prevent fungus,rust,and mites.Works Great.

Such a great story,I think I have read it 3 times.I have my grandfathers tree,and some of his friends trees.Most of the trees are from the 50's that came from NY when he and his friends moved to NJ. my grandfather originally was from Sicily,and so we're most of his friends.I just started collecting these trees a few years ago, I am glad I did, within the last two years we've lost a lot of trees do to Sandy and bank owned property.if you are looking for some very hardy local trees,I will have cutting this spring.Thank you for the story Vic from NJ. PS these trees have been growing in sand unprotected for many many years.
