    I just noticed today the lead branch has some sort of attack on the leafs.
    What is it and how to deal with it.

    It looks like powerdery mildew which is a fungal desease. The use of funicides on edible crops has been changed and some products are now hard to get hold of (and illegal to sell). Maybe someone else knows if alternatives are safe (assuming it produces apples yet)?

      It produced 2 apples last year :-(

      If nothing else should I pick off the affected leaves?
