Apple Blotch (fungus - Phyllosticta solitaria): Shiny, black blotches develop on fruit. Edges of lesions are irregular with radiating outgrowths. Foliage symptoms are characterized by light gray spots with a dark dot in the center. Elongated, sunken, light colored lesions with black dots are formed on veins, midribs and petioles of the leaves. The spread of blotch is favored by temperatures of 75 to 80 degrees F and heavy rains. Several fungicides will control this disease.
