We just purchased a brand new home in West Sacramento and moved in about three weeks ago. The tree in our backyard had maybe one or two green leaves our first week here. My husband took of two branches and said it might be salvageable because the wood is still soft andi think he said green. Our neighbor told me that the tree is an apple tree. She said it had green leaves at the beginning of early spring. As you see here it looks dead. I do not know what to do this yard and the tree have been completely neglected. Here is a photo of the leaves and some of the tree. I'm hoping you can tell me what kind it is and how to help bring the tree back to life.
I'd hate cut it down.
