I have a problem with my three year old apple tree , all the leaves on this years growth has turned mouldy, although the tree is still growing and producing new leaves, it has never produced fruit, I have a pear tree 2mtrs away and a plum tree 3mtrs away with no problems, can any body give me any advice, should I perservere with the apple tree or pull it up thanks

    The lack of fruit may be nothing to do with the leaves or general health of the tree. Many apple trees need another, different tree to pollinate their flowers. A few really picky ones, like Cox's Orange, need two different trees.

    Do you know what variety the tree is? Then we could check that this is not the problem.
