| I have 2 apple trees and a pear tree that are covered with yellow spots. The edges of the apple leaves have turned brown and are curling. These trees are only a couple of years old and every single leaf is affected. I've googled this several times, but can't come to a definite answer as to what this is. We've had a wet spring/early summer and it's been fairly cool till this week. Can you help me identify the problem? Thanks in advance. |

| Cedar apple rust. Nothing to be done about it now. Start a spray program next spring. |

| I've not seen CAR on pears. I've read they get a different rust. New leaves on apples should be healthy but some years CAR can cause early defoliation. I had some trees develop rust this year on different sites in SE NY. First time my spray program didn't keep it well in check. I used Indar instead of Rally and I'm thinking I didn't shake up the jug enough. |
