Asked July 16, 2024, 7:52 PM EDT

Prairie Magic had apple scab last year. Can you tell if the pictures indicate it’s coming back?

Itasca County Minnesota

Expert Response

It looks like there may be some. Your tree looks great and this year apple scab is very prevalent due to all the rain and humidity.
