Hello, what is wrong with my crabapple tree? It bloomed beautifully and has looked terrible ever since. Our raspberry plants also have yellow/spotted leaves this year.

Good Morning,
Looks like the fungus, Venturia inaequalis, known as apple scab, is a leaf spot disease that can cause serious leaf drop on susceptible crabapple trees. See attached
