My community is known for its abundance of micro breweries, explaining it didn’t seem to help :)

I use Bonide’s Fruit Tree Spray to prevent apple scab and it’s been working really well for me. For a few years I didn’t know how to fix it and my crabtree looked like it was in the fall season as soon as the spring blossoms fell—leaves got brown spots, yellowed quickly, and dropped. No bueno. Since using the spray, there is minimal to no leaf dropping. Usually the only scab that occurs is on the inside of the tree where the spray didn’t reach. But again, very minimal. The spray typically needs to be applied a couple times in the spring (approx 2 wks between application), though, while the tree is pushing out new leaves, once flowers bud appear, and during the bloom, etc. It may be too far past the optimal time for your tree this year. My tree is quite large so I’ve found that using a hose-end sprayer to apply the product is most effective…especially for reaching high branches.

Otherwise, for this year, pickup the fallen leaves to prevent the fungus from spreading.

Hope that helps!

Such much thank yous! I feel like I’m still figuring it out though, but I appreciate all your kind words. I see so many gardens in the neighborhood that I drool over. I do love the space I’ve created!
