My apple tree leaves are diseased. The top of the leaf looks like apple scab, the underside is white /orange and raised slightly fluffy. Is this apple scab? If I cut off all the infected leaves will that stop it from re-occuring or do I have to treat the whole tree?
Cheers

my pears have black fungal type marks on them which disfigures. In the past i have used a seaweed mulch and it worked but this year it has notworked, altho recently mulched some months ago.
One tree not mulched, after years of not fruiting is the only one in fruit. It seems they are all very old and i inherited them 20 yrs ago. Am at a loss what to do next.

You recommend to spray with myclobutanil to control apple scab. Bayer's "Fungus Fighter" contains myclobutanil as the active ingredient but it states on the spray that it is not to be used on food crops??
