I have a patio Braeburn apple tree planted this year in Jan. It's been doing really well, producing lots of leaves but no blossoms as yet. Today I noticed that some leaves are turning brown and crispy (as in crumble when touched) and many small new leaves are yellow and dropping off the tree. On closer inspection there seems to be a web of sorts on some leaves.I also found this very tiny spider looking thing and some green things that jumped when I touched the leaf. I suspect they are aphids and red spider mite. I've attatched photos of them. Am I right and how do I treat them both together? Can I spray with one insecticide or will I need something for each problem?
