    I had it last year on my apple tree. I'm sure I read moisture levels in the soil and air affect it, the drier conditions making it worse. I just cut off the affected areas and made sure I watered it more in dry conditions. I also give it a little spray of liquid seaweed .  This year my tree looks so much better

    I would also pinch off the worst affected tips and this will also act as 'summer pruning' which will encourage more fruiting spurs to develop for the future.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
