I think you may be right, altho our rain seems to be fairly normal this
year and out tangelo tree isn't suffering the same problem.
And for another problem..........
The tangelo tree has area of its trunk where the bark has pulled away and
the wound is weeping. Several years ago at the trunk's base it appeared
that an animal had gnawed the bark from an area about 1/3 of the way
around the trunk. I treated w/ Subdue and it seemed to deal w/ it and
I'll try again, but any other ideas?
