Are there diseases that affect crabapples?

Last Updated: September 14, 2008

View as web page


Many flowering crabapples are made unsightly or are severely injured by one or more of four common diseases: apple scab, fire blight, cedar-apple rust, and powdery mildew. Unless resistant crabapples are selected and grown, fungicide sprays used as disease preventatives must be included in the maintenance program.

Contact your local Extension office for variety and fungicide recommendations.
