Multiple Plant Leaf Curl After New Plantings: Crab Apple Scab and Aphids

Crab apple and fuchsia thrived until lilacs and roses planted nearby. Now all have leaf curl; crab apple has black spots on fruit, looks dead. Expert: multiple species = multiple problems. Crab apple: apple scab (fungal)—treat with fungicide at first bud break next spring, repeat until fruit near mature. Use Maneb or Daconil if no specific product. Other plants: leaf curl likely aphids or scale. Check leaf undersides. Treat with Bayer Advanced Tree & Shrub Insecticide soil drench—systemic, long residual.

Separate Issues, Targeted Fixes

  • Crab apple: fungicide schedule next spring.
  • Fuchsia/lilac/rose: soil drench for sucking insects.
  • Rake crab apple leaves this fall.

New plants didn’t cause it; they just revealed existing pressures.
