OK I know that not many people on here are apple tree experts but I have a problem and it is stressing me out. So I have two Apple trees a honey crisp and a Fuji and the bark is Turing yellow on both if anyone knows how to fix this/ what the problem is please let me know! The one on the left is honey crisp and on the right if Fuji. (The leaves are turning black on the tips and bugs swarm the honey crisp)

Hello! Not an expert either but I’ve seen that most fruit tree growers actually paint their sapling trunks with a non toxic natural paint to help with sunburn and pests. Idk if yours is too far gone but they do that right when it’s planted because there’s not enough leaf cover to provide adequate shade for the first couple years

Thank you!

It also makes sense because I have a cherry tree with quite a lot of leaves but it has never been affected.

Yeah! I think it really might be that, hopefully it works out and gets better
