My brand new grafts of Sweet 16 were the LEAF tissue most damaged by scab this year in my plantings. Connection? FYI, I didn't spray this year. Should have, but I figured incorrectly that late freeze decided for me.

Hello,
This year I got my first good crop from many of my apple trees, and also my lone pear tree.
Almost all of my Sweet 16 apples have a simiilar problem. The skin is slightly bumpy or pitted, sort of like an orange in a way. The flesh has dark areas and is sometimes a little bitter, and not crisp, but sometimes mushy.
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem with them might be? I have looked in many of my books and references with no luck, although I seem to have a tendency to miss the obvious sometimes.
Thanks for any help.

Jim, in Menomonie, WI, cold edge of zone 4
