On the Decay of Apple Tries. frZ
From a letter of William Denning, Esq. I root!
Dr. Mitchell, dated Dec- woul
Sir, troul
IT is undoubtedly of consequence to I°"'
the farmers of this countiy, as well as "
to others, that the and pre I
fervation of apple trees, be duly attend- ' ™ «
td t0 - u h >* therefore with great con n
cern, that 1 have marked the progress
lin ° r f Cr K. PreVa,i, ' ng and ' ncrea fing
»» this valuable and ufeful tree, for-ma
fny with.ut having it in my jT.
er to devise a remedy.
As no observations have as yet an
peared on this interesting fubjeft, I hope Sam '
my giving you the trouble of my re cr<>
marks thereon may be attributed to my Yo
, so " [ he P r eservation of those trees - al 1
which I hope may be effected by feme
ed to T InVen , tion ° r discover y adap
dffeafe r n fi °? y J nd " r ß eilc y <* the
chards'in the
north of the Highlands, in
1780. I have since observed its bane
ful pcogrefe further Swith. And, if I
„ am not raiftaken, it is spreading rapidly.
I have observed it alio, attacking pear
? for trees and quince trees, to the total <def
-1 j or trudion of them in a few years : and
as these trees are of a flow growth, the
r _ loss, is of eourfe irreparable to the pre
"ju j 1 sent proprietors.
A long time this disorder baffled my
' ' !»ioft critical refearchea. As I obferv
-1 ed the young, remote, and tender (hoots
01 firft affeded, Ftraccletl the malady to
1,110 the spot where the sap ceased to flow,
„ tar! but could difcovcr no external cause.
r °m On the second year I found the boughs
wounded deeper, and prugiefling .year
ly, the tree continued to fieken, and in
*'• fix-orfeven years died.—lt is to be ob
served, that every Spring ihe trees ap
. pear in full vigour (except the limbs
" r " already penfhed from the former years 1
attacks) and continue so until the latter ;
end of June, or beginning of July, when ,
fwddenly the leaves wither, turn read,
and soon fall off; the whole tiee appears j
r - sick, and the si nit filll of spots, and 1111- j
promiling; hence the indifferent ap- •,
I & pearances of many of our apples brought I (
'» to market for sale, few of them being £
es - fair and smooth as they formerly were. r
nate As soon as the leaves fall off, a 6 above t
ida- described, it_will then appear how far t
'.i in the tr eis affected for this season. a
afes Finding all my efforts to discover the
the cause in vain, I hazarded several expe- p
rer- periments; among others, two years r
aw- | since, I laid bare the roots of two fa- J
ave vorite pea trees in the month of Otto- n
aryjber, and left them so until May follow
'of j ing of these trees was so injured, ]
fur- 1 that X had no —I.T I *c *. ,
the Last year they (hewed few or 110 addi
3sy ■ tional symptoms of the disease, wereve-
jry full ot fruit, and had a great "supply ''
'ed, jof new ; this year, both trees "
;en | were veiy fall of trufr, tho' again they °
uli. di corned symptoms of the disorder, °
ind but not in so great a degree as in form- "
of er years. cl
lav Still pursuing my enquiries, I have ]!'
of had some apple tr.es cut down, that j !
no were very far decayed. In the fill 1I |
:he difeovered two worm holes, running j "
;he perpendicular from the tap-ipot up thro' I 3'
of the heart; holes were Higeenough [<•
in- to admit a common pipe Item, and reach- m"
;ry ed about fourteen inches above tl e Air- f
is face of the ground, a.id from each hole !'
ew I crewed out a worm. All the other -r
on trees I foutid perforated with worm- r
me holes, fucM as have been already defcrib- U
of ed, and in some to the mini ver of eight p
or ten. Having ex traded J'ome/ of these \ J
■d, woinis entire, 1 si ,d them nearly of the *7
nd fame |ize and (pecies of thole so com
u- rnon and so will known to be the con- W<
.k ft3nt attendants on peach trees ; indeed
or so fimilaraie they to those' worms, that
ly lam of opinion, they are of the fame e "
id . kind. . mi
cr I I have loft several valuable trees by C ."
j. fthismott pernicious worm, and mv whale r ,
h orchard is in a state of dec iy. This dif
i order appears to me to be of a more ieri- t0 "
;r otis nature than any thing that has ever
,t ( mfefted orchards. The canker worm
,r I only destroys the leaves and th"e fruit for I C 3'
•f j the season, and perhaps eveny fourth
if J year, if not attended to when a fly ; but '■ Cm
e this worm radically destroys the tree'itfelf \ ° U '
:. j 1 have enquired of many farmers in mv !
II travels, whose orchards I have observed I
y in this (late, what they supposed the tT"
l ' c . aufe (,f " ? t( 'ey generally answered,
I the trees were blafied by lightening, and „
this I found to be the prevailing opinion :
none of them, of eourfe thought o-f ,
searching for the true physical cause.
As I am confident 1 have difeovered
it, the next step is to (ind a remedy ; as ~
I have not yet succeeded, I fabmit it to 'bw
the consideration of the Agricultural 1 1 °'
Society, whether a publication of the ,
rial cause of the disorder may not le*d to ' , 1
a discovery that may tend to'flop the ra I, '
vages,of this worm ; and perhaps induce !
many, whose tntereft it i s to preserve ! <
their trees, to attempt to secure them T"
from its fatal attacks. To lay bare the »
«!ll M f, orcy ' every autumn, :7"
vvould undoubtly be attended with .reat I"*"'
trouble and expence, yet even °thar ad
would be easier than to raise another or- paffi
chard. And I have besides, observed n ° l
very young trees, even in nurferiesficken i ° Ur
from the fame catife. Wiping this com- qUK
mum cation tnay be attended with tht I g "u
