| Hi, it just looks like 'russeting' (not a disease, it is usually caused by damp, wet weather), but why didn't you thin your apples? After a bit more research, russeting can be caused by powdery mildew. You do not seem to have that. Mrs. G |

| Yes I just notice powdery mildew on one of the branches thanks Mrs G...I don't thin because of Summer drop...never needed to. |

| mjmarco, The leaves of that tree look pretty crowded. If you thin out some of the branches to let light and air penetrate there will be less disease pressure. |

| Probably the starting of cedar apple rust, post another picture after giving the apple more time for the disease to develop. (if cracking occurs then it might be scab), but I believe CAR starts on the fruit first. |

| I guess I'm not surprise getting a fungi disease this year...our spring was very cold and the rain was non stop. The yard would not dry out. One of the reason I won't thin the apples...at this point I'll need all the apples small or not. Sprayed at dormant and green tip but must not of not been enough. I used immunox 15 days ago even though things really looked good...to late or to wet. I let you know how the apples turn out. |
