UNKNOWN APPLE VARIETY

Washington, United States

I still don't know what kind of apples these will be. Im a bit concerned as many of the leaves have brown spots on them. Any advice?
I'm glad I listened to you all and just let things grow this year, but I'm going to be doing so many things different next year.

Sorry cannot help with the apple variety. There are thousands of them.
The brown spots look a little like a mild does of scab (Not sure if you get that in America). We spray ours with Copper sulphate (sulfate) which is a reasonably organic fungicide. The other thing we use is called Bordeaux mixture. This is copper sulphate with something else added, cannot remember what at present, sorry. Otherwise you need a fungicide designed specifially for fruit trees. Dithane is the one which comes to mind.
