    My espaliered Gravenstein is getting something white and fuzzy on its new leaves. Can someone tell me what it is, and how I can treat it?

    Thanks!

    It's powdery mildew, which is very common on apple trees. If not many new shoots are affected, just prune them off. There is lots of information about this fungus on the Web.
