Flyspeck is a disease of maturing apples, caused by the fungus Zygophiala jamaicensis (also known as Schizothyrium pomi). Spores germinate when temperatures are between 60 and 83 degrees Fahrenheit (15-28 C.) for about 15 days, and relative humidity exceeds 95 percent. Flyspeck apple disease appears on fruits as a series of tiny black dots, typically in groups of 50 or more.

Sometimes Fire Blight can also infest on bark. Fire blight, caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora, is a destructive disease affecting apple trees. Fire blight causes the formation of cankers on trunk, twigs and branches that oozes a pale tan, watery substance that darkens to brown when exposed to air. This substance leaves streaking on the trunk and branches. The cankers can be small, causing them to go unnoticed until the sprinIg flowers, young fruit and shoots begin to shrivel and discolor. Temperatures between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit accompanied by rainy conditions are the ideal environment for fire blight. Regularly monitor apple trees, and immediately remove and destroy infected parts of the tree. If the apple tree has been attacked by fire blight in the past, applying a preventive fungicide spray can help prevent future infections. Please review more details in plantix library.
