If the spider mite attacks the apple tree during the ripening of the fruit, then due to the inability to absorb sufficient sunlight in the affected leaves and metabolic disorders, the tree throw off some of the fruits.
If a large part of the green mass of the tree is affected by the tick, it can die altogether.
