Sarah:

That looks more like aphids to me. Aphids can be on both the tender shoots and the new leaves. Usually scale are only on the shoots. What scale I've had has been on the one year old shoots but the young do move to the new shoots.

Aphids are very common on apples and usually no too damaging. More a cosmetic problem. But if thick I do spray. They are easy to kill with things like Sevin. There are organic controls like insecticidal soap.

It looks like those are dead Aphids from the pesticide spray. What are you using ?

Thanks fruitnut and theaceofspades.

Theaceofspades, I think you are right. They are green spots on new leaves--probably living aphids. I used flowerpharm, as I didn't have veggiepharm on hand. However, my boyfriend had sprayed it with non-organic pesticide (Bonicide I believe). I prefer to use organic products and plan to purchase some veggiepharm.

Thanks,
Sarah
