I recently just planted an apple tree in the yard and plan on planting some more in the fall. I know apple trees need lots of care in order to keep them healthy. I've noticed the one i planted is showing some signs of a fungus like scab or rust. Can anyone recomend a good organic way to spray them for this problem and what to use. Any tips or advice will help, thanks.
 
I'd suggest taking a leaf/twig sample to your local nursery.They may be able to ID the problem,and suggest a proper treatment.If it's a small tree,and it's a leaf problem, remove the infected leaves.The pathogen can spread that way. high temps/high humidity can be a major cause of various pathogens.Clean up any fallen leaf litter under the canopy. Restrict watering by not allowing water to hit the tree directly as some pathogens are activated by moisture.A picture always help....chuck

We have had the best luck with injections when dealing with apple scab.
