Can I Eat These Apples?

Question

We have planed pixie apple trees near our juniper shrubs, and apparently that is what is causing the brown spots on our apples and leaves. Is it ok to eat these apples?

Answer 1

It is safe to eat these apples, but you may want to consider some method of control to prevent the death of your tree, later on.
