Is this blight or something else?

Did a field walk today and all trees looked good except for one dolgo crab had some black leaves on it. Is this blight or something else? The other dolgo crabs looked great. Been a wet year around here. Any advice??

Also, my honeycrisp tree had its leaves all curled up - it had a tiny root mass to it when I planted it this spring so I had low hopes with it. Curled leaves mean anything or just let it be?

I dont think it looks like FB. Looks like some kind so environmental stress, which can be a broad range of things. Roots too wet, micronutrient imbalance, etc..
 
With curled leaves, check to see if insects are the cause. Aphids can hide under the curl.
 
This site is awesome - thanks to all 3 of you. I will take a closer look for aphids on the HC.

So probably nothing life threatening for the tree?
 
I cant say for sure, HC are weak growers especially early on in life.
