Guys;
 
I've noticed on a few of my apple trees that there is some blackening near 
the places where I did summer pruning the year before. It doesn't look like 
fire blight. Is it sap / aphid stuff? The wounds all have new shoots coming 
out in great health, and aside from the black color all appears fine. Is it 
mildew?
