My species Malus is usually very weak and prone to fungal attack almost as soon as the leaves open. This year it looks vibrant for the first time.

Last year I doused the base with an aerated nettle ferment and sprayed some on the lower leaves. Whether there is cause and effect I have no idea.

Native white chestnuts nearby are looking uncharacteristically healthy this year, so weather may be having a big effect and the treatment may be irrelevant.
