Q.Are apples safe to eat if the tree has a fungus?

Zone 5B | maryc616 added on August 3, 2012 | Answered

I suspect my golden delicious apple tree has apple rust or something similar, but it produced a LOT of apples. The apples “look” fine but I am not sure if they are safe to eat. The leaves are covered in yellow spots and the underside of the leaves have hair-like spores.

Yes, it is safe. The fungus will not affect you.
