Kylemob starts with ... I live in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. I have a hobby orchard of about 20 fruit trees. These pictures are 3 different varieties. One was planted a year ago and the other two have been in the ground a month. The dusty leaves are a lady liberty, the tree turning black is a Gravenstein, and the other is a honey crisp. I'm a bit concerned because the guy I bought these from had a few other trees starting to turn black and he seemed concerned. What do I do? Can I spray these? They all have a good crop of apples growing at this point.

Swishtree says... Hi Kylemob, I am in Australia so I can only give you a rough guide of things to look for, ok. Does the black look like a mould gaining ground? If so it could be Sooty Mould and you will need to spray it. Quite fixable. Ask at your Nursery/store. Are your trees getting plenty of sun through the day? And water, as they are developing fruit. The other thing is that it may be dying? In the 3rd picture it looks like the tree may be suffering from Apple Mosaic Virus? Otherwise call an Orchardist if your stuck. Feed your trees in Autumn/Fall and mulch. A foliar feed now will help the nutrition. Cheers. | About the Author Swishtree Gippsland, VIC 30th June 2015 5:43pm #UserID: 5992 Posts: 4 View All Swishtree's Edible Fruit Trees |

Harry says... It kind of looks like powdery mildew?? It's also known to cause blackening on the trunk.
