Apple and plum tree problem

Hi, thank you in advance, ive moved to a new house which has fruit trees, the apples have black dots on them and the plum brown crusted and fine holes in leaves, do i keep them or chop them this winter?x

 

Firstly. I am not a fruit grower. I would be inclined to destroy/burn leaves and fruits, to avoid and spread of the problems. Then turn my attention to treatments such as. Tar oil wash and grease bands.

 

Hi, looks like apples have scab, see link below:

Apple scab and pear scab

 

Agree it looks like apple scab. (Of course worth checking for any creepy crawlies in the apples too just in case there are multiple issues going on).

For control, a spray early in season and clearing fallen leaves well in autumn is recommended.

I have read that the scab affected fruit are fine to eat but best to peel first as the 'lesions' themselves should not be consumed in large quantities.
