rust on new apple tree leaves

Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

hi can anyone help. My dad has recently bought some apple and pear trees, a few weeks after buying them the apple tree's have developed what looks like rust on some of the leaves, can anyone tell me what it is and how to treat it.
we have been removing the effected leaves but its still early days so dont know if this is helping or not
