Issues with your apple tree last season?

Apple scab is a common fungal disease that can impact the health and appearance of your trees. If you saw signs last year, it’s important to get ahead of it now before it returns stronger. Left untreated, it can weaken your tree and reduce future yields. Keep an eye out for:

Early leaf drop (premature defoliation)
Dark, scabby spots on leaves or fruit
Misshapen or reduced-quality apples
