Cox Apples Badly Damaged
4 Answers
My near 4-year-old Cox's apple tree (sapling planted 17 February 2019), bore some fruit in years 2 (18 fruit), and 3 (25 fruit - this season). The first fruiting was all good; the second, disastrous! Only about 6 apples edible*.
Tree First pruned lightly in January 2022.
I am told by some pundit that the Coddling Moth larvae are the culprits; boring into the apple's flesh, they cause a spreading rot that renders the apple inedible.
Is this true? If so, what is the remedy? If not true, what might be the cause/remedy?
*Numbers of fruit had bird-bites, but I haven't taken them into account for this synopsis.
Many thanks.
