Apple tree - leaves and blossom loss

[Prerna20]

Hi, recently started noticing this happening to our Apple tree. Any guidance on what might be causing it or what should he done will be greatly appreciated.

The lower limb attached to that branch is still alive. Must be something causing it above that lower branch.

Keep all the dead cut-off the trees so your plant doesn't suffer from a disease attack.

Had a Cherry do this. So my wife came home I was cutting half the limbs off.

Fireblight often begins like this.

I was having trouble with my Apple Trees because of Cedar Rust. Finally put in some resistant we shall see they are young.

This is what the tree looks like now.

That sure looks like a Bug problem.

Any recommendations about what can be done to save this tree now?

I'm afraid anything I say will be all wrong and really need an expert at this time.

The apple shriveled up for some reason. I assume water and/or nutrients where cut off from the apple/s. I don't see cedar apple rust or frogeye. Might be fireblight starting as Chuck said.

Remove the dead branches directly from where they branch off from the main stem

Did the damage start with the new growth or did it affect old leaves as well?
