Mystery Disease ???
Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2014 3:59 pm
I'm trying to find out what this is on my apple trees.
At first I thought it was cicada damage but it's early for annual cicadas and I don't hear or see any. Then I was told that it was fireblight, but I don't have the classic shepherd hook on the young shoots. Then someone said it was scab but I can't find anything on the internet concerning scab that looks like this. Does anyone else have an idea as to what this is??? The trees are Antonovka seedlings 6 to 8 years old that I'm top-working over to assorted varieties. I've also found it on a pear tree. Help!!!
