Apple Scab: Just a reminder that, if you have scab in your orchard and have been trying to "burn it out" over the past few weeks, it is important to check whether you have any "fresh"  lesions on the youngest 4-5 terminal leaves or have any velvety-looking lesions on your fruit BEFORE you start to extend your fungicide  interval. This means climbing up into the tops of your trees if  they are tall. Hopefully, you have been successful in both "burning-out" older lesions and preventing new ones from developing.
