Interestingly, Black Oxford is listed as a resistant variety but disease resistance is never 100%, which could explain why you are seeing symptoms on your tree (plus our unusually humid wet summer). Your plan to remove infected leaves is a good one. Since the fungus also requires a Juniperus species to complete its life cycle, check any nearby (like eastern redcedar or Rocky Mountain juniper) and remove galls from those as well in the fall. It&#8217;s unlikely you&#8217;ll need to resort to using fungicides, but it&#8217;s always a good idea to keep up on pruning to maximize airflow and light penetration in your tree canopy, which will also help reduce fungal diseases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: As I was inspecting\/removing aphids from our young apple trees, I noticed an odd growth on a few of the leaves of one of the trees (a native bred Black Oxford from our local orchard and nursery).
