Blistered?
Yes.
Fungal infection?
I suspect Taphrina deformans, which thrives in this cool, wet climate. If I'm right, then I'm supposed to spray my trees with lime sulfur in order to treat the problem. How does this impact the trees, their fruit and the rest of my garden?
Take some leaves to your local nurseryman and ask.
They have one solution to everything . . . Spray, spray, spray! We NEVER sprayed our trees in California, but then, it was so hot all the time it seems unlikely that fungi would have much chance to infect a tree down there.
I'm REALLY discouraged about my fruit trees right now . . . : - ( robert luis rabello "The Edge of Justice" "The Long Journey" New Adventure for Your Mind http://www.newadventure.ca Ranger Supercharger Project Page http://www.members.shaw.ca/rabello/
