Apple Trees Management

JOHNPT · 2011-09-04 18:03:08

Hi All We have about 10 apple trees in our garden about 5 trees are cooking apples and 5 are eating apples. Trees are approx 20 yrs old. Although there is alot of apples every year the apples are very small and alot of them have what looks like brown marks or scabs on them. Is there anything I can do to prevent these marks…

Hi All

We have about 10 apple trees in our garden about 5 trees are cooking apples and 5 are eating apples. Trees are approx 20 yrs old. Although there is alot of apples every year the apples are very small and alot of them have what looks like brown marks or scabs on them.

Is there anything I can do to prevent these marks or have bigger apples - do the trees need to be treated or pruned or fertilized?

Thanks in advance for any advice
