How to determine the condition of an apple tree by its leaves: a note for gardeners
Apple tree leaves can tell a gardener or summer resident a lot about the condition of the tree.
Therefore, it is useful to conduct an inspection from time to time and carefully study the condition of the plantings in the garden.
Apple tree leaf condition
In a normal state, the color of apple tree leaves is green. If they are yellowish, the plant may lack nutrients, and a brownish tint indicates possible diseases, pests or fungal infections.
Please note that the leaves may also acquire a brown tint due to sunburn and other mechanical damage.
The leaves are normally oval in shape. If you notice that they are curved, then the reason may be growth problems.
Early yellowing and falling of leaves should also cause concern. This means that they lack moisture or the plant is affected by pests or diseases.
But if you notice a white coating, then most likely the trees are affected by powdery mildew.
