Red Barron Apple Tree #879686

Asked August 01, 2024, 8:54 AM EDT

We planted a Red Baron apple tree in June and recently noticed spots on the leaves and apples. Are you able to help determine what is affecting the tree and any treatment options?

Hi Jami,

This looks like cedar apple rust. See more here:

Red Baron has some resistance to rust. Your tree should be fine. See the above link for information on dealing with rust. 

Thanks.
