Expert Response
Growing apples is great fun but the trees do need a little help from us.
Tow things that you can do without chemicals are:
Fall clean-up. Rake up all fallen leaves and apples and dispose of in your municipal compost.
Next year, bag your apples. It will go a long way towards a good harvest.
