What is Apple Scab?
Apple Scab, also known as Scab Disease, is a fungal disease that can pose a serious threat to ornamental and fruit trees belonging to the rose family. Among the most commonly and severely affected trees are Apple, Pear, Crabapple, Hawthorn, and Mountain Ash.
Once you notice the disease on your trees, it’s best to do something fast. Schedule a consultation with our experts and get treatment to restore your orchard.
Scab Disease Symptoms
You’ll see Scab Disease on the upper surface of leaves, where scab lesions or diseased areas tend to appear. Fruits are also highly vulnerable to infection.
The lesions on both leaves and fruits have feathery edges and a circular shape, with an olive green to black hue. As the disease progresses, the lesions can combine and cover a large portion of the leaf or fruit surface.
Our Treatment Process
Consultation
During your tree care consultation, a certified arborist will inspect your apple tree for symptoms, diagnose the disease, and recommend a treatment schedule.
Treatment
Treating Apple Scab calls for an IV or sorts – a direct injection method. This is more effective than soil injections that other tree care companies may resort to.
