Pomegranates problem
Dear Madam/Sir,
My name is George Saripapas and i am from Greece.
I own a field of pomegranate fruit trees and i am dealing of a problem this year. Almost all of the trees have been withered but strangely new and fresh branches are coming out from the bottom. I do not know if it is a disease or an insect or anything else. I just wanted to ask you if you are aware of this phenomenon and if you are how do we fight it?
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any other questions or info.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
George Saripapas
