Why are the leaves curling on my new apple tree?

Answer by  saska (73)

It's most likely due to lack of water, though it depends - if they are curling and trning brown at the edges this is more likely. However, it could also be due to a parasite - any parasite sucking the fluid from the leaves will cause them to curl. Try dosing with insecticide.
