Anthracnose

Curious if anyone is seeing Anthracnose this year? Thought I saw it on a neighbors apple and I’m really hopeful it’s not. http://pnwhandbooks.org/plantdisease/apple-malus-spp-anthracnose-bulls-eye-rot

I saw some late last summer into the fall. It’s too early for me yet.

I often get that, largely because I do few or no summer disease sprays. This year I am doing a couple summer sprays and will see how things improve. Some varieties are highly prone to bulls eye rot, Akane for example.

At a glance I could not tell what he had on his tree but it did not appear to be Fireblight but it may have been black rot Diseases of Apple Trees - Black Rot — Crop & Pest Report. I really think it was anthracnose. My trees are a short distance away.

Has anyone here been successful in curing apple anthracnose on a 10-20+ year old apple tree? Prefferably without any chemicals… This is what I’ve found on ours:.
