Why do my eating apples rot on the tree before they are ready to pick?
This is brown rot fungus and remaining spores will cause the same problem every year. Hygiene is crucial, so dispose of all infected apples and fallen leaves. Spray with Vitax'>Copper Mixture from Vitax or Fungus Fighter Plus from SBM/Bayer just before bud burst and again when the fruits are developing. Never spray while the tree is flowering.
