Hello,
I have a baby honey crisp. It has some sort of bullseye spots as well as black marks. Wondering if there’s someone who sprays home apple trees or who could help teach me how to care for it properly.

Thank you for writing.
I am inclined to think this is rust. Do you have junipers near by?

Are the fruit damaged? If so, send photo.

Some of the fruit does have marks on it.
is there a service in the twin cities or from the arboretum that could help me figure out how to care for the tree? Thanks much!
