It looks like it may be erinose mite. I had a mild infestation on a young tree this season, I think I have managed to avert further infestation by pruning off the diseased leaves then spraying with wettable sulphur from the hardware shop. Do that at about three weekly intervals, the mites travel into the new growth from the older leaves so you need to repeat spray. Easily diagnosed by velvety brown patches underneath the leaves and twisted growth.
