I had some extra scion wood and wanted to try to create some interstem rootstock so I picked up 6 m106 rootstocks at the nursery. When I got them home I noticed the leaves didn’t look to good.
Not sure but it’s more likely wind burn. Are these potted?

Yes they are potted.
That doesn’t look like the fireblight my pears get. It looks almost exactly like a match that burned down all the way… Like someone lit the branch on fire and blew it out.
Doesn’t look like fireblight to me either. Looks more like sunburn, windburn, or some kind of physical injury.
They were on the back of the truck for about 10 miles at speeds around 55 to 60 Mph that could have been the cause.
I found this on my 3 years old Ashmead Kernel apple tree. Note zigzag pinkish line on the left btanch of the last photo. Is it fire blight or something else? What can be done for this tree?
Is it the tree growing through it’s bark? Or perhaps a touch of southwest injury?
The most damage is actually on north-west side. So I don’t think it is sun injury. I am googling and can’t find anything that would look close to that zigzag thing… Found one picture for black rot that can be similar. But the tree even didn’t produced yet, where did it come from?
