Jim jim jimmy Jim,
O yes I have. I have noticed the same things as you mentioned. The same trees will be attacked year after year. And I use Isotox (Also A systemic) that takes a while to get them under control.
The problem is that by the time you see the yellowing of the new shoot the damage is been mostly done. So go back in time and spray with your systemic every 45 days for good protection. All you can do is start now and do better next year, thats called experience My friend.
One interesting thing. Since Kenji Miyata has been coming to our club the last three years his influence has tricked down to me. I cut almost every new bud on the tree And don't even worry as much about the PTM.
Something to chew on.
