Brown Spots
I live on the northeast coast of U.S. with-in a mile of the salt water.I recently purchased 2 apple trees, a honeycrisp and Macontash. The leaves on each tree are getting brown spots,is this insect damage?
Re: Brown Spots
Do the leaves look like them in this LINK?
Re: Brown Spots
Sort of, there are alot of spots.The spots are smaller and the color is more of rustic than brown color.
Re: Brown Spots
Hopefully,I did this right...Attached is a photo of a leave from the honeycrisp tree. Any ideas?

Re: Brown Spots
Looks like Cedar Apple Rust to me. Do you have Red Cedar trees in the area? Do you spray these trees?
I have a 2nd leaf Goldrush on MM.111 planted in 2010 that is showing some slight signs of CAR. Goldrush is a Disease Resistent tree, however it is slightly susceptible to CAR - my case seems to be more mild than yours. Take a look at my attached picture. Honeycrisp is also slightly susceptible to CAR, i'm adding 5 of those trees to my orchard in 2012. Not sure about MAC.
