I didn’t spray my newly planted apples for CAR so I got a good chance to see how susceptible the 50+ varieties I have were. The following looked like the Shockley pictured below.
Hollow Log
Winecrisp
Kidd’s Orange Red
Cinnamon Spice
Kinnaird’s Choice
Suncrisp
The rest had none or just a few spots. Most resistant with no spots were:
Ruby Rush
Smokehouse
Victoria Limbertwig
Winesap
I am located in southeast Virginia about 60 miles from ocean and we had the wettest spring in years here so ideal for disease.
Gold Rush was my only apple tree that was somewhat seriously affected (similar to your picture)… or a little worse… the red spots would get quite large and eventually have black spots in the middle.
It still grew some (a little slower than my other trees, still bloomed and fruited)… just looked bad.
Early Mcintosh, Akane, Hudson Golden Gem, Novamac… would show small red specks on the leaves… but hardly noticeable and they were not seriously affected in any way.
I should have looked at the trees up close earlier when it would have been easier to determine what the infections were. Whatever it is, it ate up Suncrisp which is suppose have some scab resistance.
