Hi I moved into a new house 4 months ago and the house has two apple
trees in the garden.

One of the apple trees appears to be doing fine but the other is doing
so well.

The leaves are sparse on the branches and some the leaves are small and
brown - I've attached some images.

Does anyone know why this would be.

Probably mildew due to the rather wet season, you can spray or you can
ignore it, I ignore it, some years its worse than others.



I'd go with mildew, but also look in the growing-point for aphid.
