Bought a scab resistant variety of apple tree and it’s looking like it’s got scab on it anyway 🙈

Can anyone advise me if the photos are maybe another issue? Or if there anything I can do as the tree just doesn’t look healthy 😭 

Much appreciated

    Is the tree in a pot? 

    No in ground well drained clay mulched with Farmyard Manure

    Where (roughly) do you live

    Glasgow 

    Have you had a lot of hot dry weather?

    Hot but not overly dry

    How often have you watered the tree and how much water have you applied each time?

    Only water when it’s not rained for over a week and usually it gets a long soak with hose

    I’d contact the place you got it from and report it to them .Maybe they’ll replace it .

    I got it from Dobbies so I might give them a call.

    I’ve put down some more mulch so I’ll see if that makes any difference.

    Do we think it looks like scab?

    Not sure it’s certainly unwell
