I found a big one in our yard already growing and I want to take care of it, it’s diseased partially and very sparse but I have never cared for anything I plan to eat before.

I’m using copper to treat what looks like black spots on a section of the bush. I only applied to a tiny section today to gauge the reaction.

1. What if the spray gets on the fruit, is it ok to eat after just rinsing it off?

2. Am I ok to eat fruit on a stem that has this fungus on the leaves in the first place?

Thanks in advance, I’m new at this but happy I have a yard now to grow things in

I mean impossibly so.
