I thought these black holes were apple maggot the last couple of years, but it is happening very early so it doesn't seem like apple maggot. Our trees are loaded with apples the last couple of years but they all get these black holes and pretty much turn brown inside and shriveled by the end and not edible. This year nearly every one of the apples already has these black holes. It seems like something already tunneled inside a short distance or somehow made a hole which can be seen on one of the pictures. The largest apples are the size of a nickel but even the smaller ones all have the black holes. Can you help figure out what this is and how to prevent it? I also have a couple of pictures of a leaf that has a small insect that made kind of a cocoon inside the leaf. I don't see many of those so far but can send pictures if it could be related. Thanks for you help. Mike
