We discovered brown spots on the leaves of our young apple trees, and noticed them on our old apple trees as well. The worst of it seemed to be concentrated in trees nearest to a large, unhealthy crabapple tree. I believe the spots may be due to a fungal infection of black rot. The crabapple seems to be the source, as much of the tree is dead and there is plenty of space for spores to overwinter in the tree. Thus, this video captures the felling and removal of the old crabapple to hopefully eliminate the source of spores and disease from the orchard in the future.
