Nicko,
 
If the mummies looked like the ones at http://www.uky.edu/Ag/IPM/appleipm/appleipm/dis-cont.php then they are probably remnants of apple scab and you will need to follow a regimented scab spray program this season.   If you missed my posts from previous weeks on scab control, I'll be happy to e-mail it to you.  Hope this helps!

Subject: [NAFEX] Apple gall?

In my pruning this spring in central Vermont, I have come across very swollen buds, many with miserable looking, poorly developed, fruit still clinging on. most of the swollen parts were on buds, some were at branch crotches of one and two year wood. I dissected the buds and it looked like they might be galls. What are they? Do I need to manage them in a particular way? they are particularly abundant on one of my old trees.
Thanks.
