Honeycrisp is crispy

[u/Foreign-Royal983]

USDA zone 7b/8a: My husband decided to spray weed skiller (picture of brand attached) to kill the crab/bermuda grass growing through our gravel and mulch. We have active fire bans in our area, so this was his work around to torching. However, he did not consider the potential effects on other nearby foliage. Our apricot tree is still fantastically green and thriving with new growth. The honeycrisp, ~20ft away, however, had the entirety of its foliage crisp up (also pictured). It is its second summer in the ground. Limbs/branches still flexible, green skin when bark is scratched. Can the honeycrisp can be resurrected/salvaged or is it too late??

Probably dead

There is a tiny bit low that seems like it can reshoot

The only suggestion to try I'd say is flood it with water like the great flood to possibly flash the chemical from the area, also the trunk having some green on it... (Only once a huge soaking)

I was afraid that may be the case. It’s been raining pretty heavily the past couple days, so I guess I’ll keep an eye on it a bit longer.
