My father-in-law has an apricot tree that has a lot of dead branches. It's planted in zone 5a in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan. We had a frost in late May, but he's not sure if that's when the damage occurred. Earlier in the spring, all the branches had leaves and the tree bloomed.

Any idea what's wrong with the tree? Is this just frost damage, or does the tree have a disease?
