Great video, very useful, i also watched your video on scab fungus. I wish i had seen these videos a year ago. I will keep a good eye on my apple trees and prune it a bit more to improve air flow.
@@helenemcgregor686 Thanks Helene, I’m glad you found the videos helpful. When you’re pruning your apple tree, keep an eye out for canker as well and prune any cankers out. Good luck with your apple harvest! 🌸
I love growing apples and plums - but you've got to watch out for brown rot disease! When you next walk past an apple or plum tree, you might still spot some mummified fruit - even in the depths of winter! Hope this video helps! 🌸
@@DanLiese-fx6ey Fungicides are a complex topic! Here in the UK you need a professional spray licence to spray fruit trees. The professional operator will provide appropriate advice at point of use. Other countries will have different regulations for spraying so unfortunately I can’t provide specific chemical advice. However, if fungicide sprays for fruit trees are legally available where you live, the general principle for treatment of brown rot is to spray once in the spring when approximately 10% of blossoms are open. This helps to prevent the blossom wilt fungus which later causes brown rot. Then spray again approximately 4 weeks prior to first fruit harvest to prevent brown rot on ripening fruit. Hope this helps 🌸
In the UK there are no fungicides legally available for home gardeners to use on apple trees, so I'm afraid I can't suggest any fungicides in this instance. Although commercial orchards do apply fungicides, pre-harvest fungicide sprays for brown rot are only partially effective as the primary route of infection for brown rot is via damage on the fruit. Addressing pest problems such as coddling moth and plum moth to reduce fruit damage is really important for brown rot control. Best wishes, Rebekah 🌸

So what do i treat my fruit trees with to make sure it does not come back. I have removed all the infected fruit. Is there an effective spray?

Video said nothing about prentitive sprays.
