    Hi there,
    I planted a bare root apple tree last fall.* It's now summer and there is plenty of green growth.* Some of the leaves on the tree have brown edges.* Can someone please tell me what they think is the problem/what I should do?
    I've attached a photo of the tree to illustrate.
    Thanks,
    Lorenzo Dodaro

    Hi Lorenzo,

    Do you know what variety of apple this is?* In looking at your picture I'm thinking the problem could be one of several different diseases.* This site has some good pics and info.

    I'm thinking maybe nectrotic leaf blotch aka golden delicious necrotic leaf blotch.

    When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
