All- I have a new apple (1 year old), and just noticed the leaves have a weird pattern on them. It is just a few leaves, but the number is increased. Any suggestions?

Be aware of Fire Blight.

What variety of apple is this and how often do you water? I'm in a similar climate to yours and have both an Anna and an Ein Shemer and both of them will show some browning of leaves when it gets really hot and they're thirsty.

This is a fuji. It gets water about every three days (10 minutes)

Fire blight... I will look it up. What do I do about it?

I don't think this looks like fire blight,but is most likely sunburn. Water deeply at least once a week and watch the tree to see how it responds. Being a young tree that may be experiencing it's first hot summer, it may be somewhat stressed.

Okaaaaaay. Whew. THAT is totally fixable.

(and I agree... when I went to google images, it's clear this isn't fire blight)

Thanks!

My Ein Shemer is around 2 years old and bore some apples, but they started so late the sun did them in before they could ripen, but my Anna, which is a dwarf and is 7-8 years old produced 2-3 bushels this year.

I'm going to try espalier with my next apple tree; either a Hollywood, Fuji or Golden Dorsett.
