is it wooly aphids
Wooly aphid. Doesn't normally harm tree's and will pass. Thinning it out any congested grow will help. Flowers were most likely caught by the late frosts this year. Assuming it flowered.
i'd be tempted to cut that infested secondary trunk off as low as possible, it might even be a sucker from the root stock
Cheers lads , I'll let the customer know , it deffo wants a good trim, are those aphids same as the green
I usually just spray with warm soapy water and it wipes them out
more unsightly than harmful, as h. badger says, around here they seem to go for cooking apple trees more than the dessert varieties, I would prune harshly then lace what's left of the tree with the jungle juice
