Title: Curled stunted leaves on apple tree
Post by: cheshirecheese on June 24, 2012, 16:46

I've just noticed some tightly curled, almost shrivelled leaves on my otherwise very healthy looking apple tree.  Anyone know what it might be?  And if so, how I should treat it?  Thanks  :)

Have you unrolled any leaves to check for pests?

Mine is like that too. It looks a bit mildewy.

If there were aphids around when the leaves were forming, distortion can result.
