Apple scab

I know maples have dropped some leaves pretty dramatically, and a lot of crab apples and apples have I was just driving by the roadside, and I noticed these trees that just had no leaves on them, and they look dead, but they're familiar to me, so I knew that they just drop leaves early.

So it's usually because of some sort of apple scab disease causes the tree to go into, like, early dormancy.

You know, if something's attacking your leaf, you might as well just go into early dormancy, cut it off earlier.

So it's pretty cool where leaves attach to the twig.

And there's something I always notice.

I see it on crab apples.

So going back to the apple scab, which is a pretty cool disease.

So obviously it's a fungal parasite on apple leaves and crab apples.
