hi there. I have recently bought a house with a large garden, woodland and orchard. There is a lot of work to be done as everything seems to have been neglected. However, my immediate concern is the apple trees - there are about 8 apple trees, all different, it seems. On most of the apples there is a black film over the surface. It rubs off ok when i wash them, and the apples taste great, but i wondered if this black film was indicative of some sort of disease on the trees? any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

more than likely black sooty mold from aphids or psyllids
