- Misshapen apples are never a beautiful sight. Many gardeners get frustrated by them since they are not pretty, often pitted, and sometimes even have bug holes in them. In today’s episode, we are covering what you can do about it and what causes it in the first place.

Mystery finally solved! We have had Apple trees purchased from Lowe's for seven years. I have never really gotten apples from the tree. There has never been many blossoms on the tree or the few we have had look like what you have in your video. Thank you for your invite and expertise. A big hello! I live just south of you and south of the National Guard base in Harrison Twp. I really enjoy your channel and representative of the Mid-west. Lol! There is Laura from Garden Answerr in the Pacific West, Erin from Impatient Gardener in the cooler Temps in Wisconsin, and Jenny & Jerry from Gardening with Creekside in the South. You all are an inspiration and a delight to watch. Keep up the good work!
That is exactly what my apples look like! So on point. Thank you!
Great video. I'm going to share this with my brother in law because he has several fruit/apple trees.
Great information! This is the first year my trees have produced apples and I'm seeing the same dimples, pits and scars on my fruit. Good to know the cause and some potential solutions. Thank you friend to the east!
I had a problem with apple maggot flies ruining my apples for years. I tried different sprays, but nothing worked. Now I put barrier bags on every apple. It's alot of work, but I now have a beautiful harvest every year!
Hi Karen,
We have tried bags and the fruit did not develop properly. Can you tell me about the bags you used? Thanks
Super helpful video!! Thanks for sharing. We are planning to add a small orchard area to our space this fall, and apple trees are a must. So is your video!!!! 🍎❤
Dust the base of the tree from the trunk to a foot out from the drip line with diatomaceous earth. It will work itself into the ground and lacerate the larva when they emerge.
Red cedar rust on my apple tree is the bane of my existence.
We have a Granny Smith and we still have this issue. This year we sprayed it with a clay solution and that has helped somewhat
I'm from Mi. Living in Mass. I love your videos!
I'd turn those apples into vinegar. Then I use the vinegar to clean, drink and kill weeds between my river rock pathway. I enjoy the content you bring. I'll definitely be spraying my apples on time next year. Will this help with pears as well??
That would be kind of cool to try.
Love how you "chipped" that ball! 😝
Great video, my gala and Fuji apple trees are very young so I am no where near fruiting stage yet. I heard about the kaolin clay for the plum curculio, have you ever used it?
Gnarly infested apples make great hard cider if you're into that thing.
@@MichaelRei99 haha nice
And i agree cider is great ive only made it outta store bought juices and stuff but i might as well put my apples to use
With extra protein no doubt
I just freeze regular cider. Makes it hard as a rock!
All we have are Grant Smith and gala. Granny smith only one to have app,es yet and they all have black spots on them. I have never sprayed the trees, mainly because of wind. Will try your suggestions kn spray next year. And will get rid of the apples on the trees this year. Thanks for the tips.
I love the orchard videos
Interesting!
Wow ..crazy ,but thanks on that info …maybe show us pruning and when to prune fruit trees
Perfect timing and very helpful. It was thorough and clear. I just bought some fruit trees and am now buying supplies for next year. Hopefully you have videos for peaches and plums.
Thanks for watching!
Question: Does the Dr Bronner’s Insecticide soap work on Gypsy Moths for peach trees? I have these terribly too. Truly needed the information on the lumpy apples. I am new at raising fruit trees. Only had them 3 years so no good fruit yet. Just a few.
How much of the neem oil and pyrethrin do you add to water? And how often do you use that and dr. Bronners? Is there a spray schedule you stick to as a preventative?
Do you have instructions on diluting the Dr Bronner's soap for tree spraying?
Thanks for the video. Sounds like great info but I'm wondering, does all of this information work just as well on coddling moths? I have the same issues with my honey crisp apple tree but from coddling moths. Two years without any apples is just sad.
Hey my friend thanks for telling me this in the spring when I could have sprayed, oh well meat is so expensive now I'll take the protein!
Save it for next year! :)
After spraying Dr Bronner’s Insecticide soap, is the fruit safe to eat at harvest?
Luke,
I love a protein source w/ my apples--sharp cheddar cheese! 😋😋😋
Our pears look the same way. Could it be the same pest and is the treatment the same?
If I might ask one more, how much soap to a gal. of water? Thanks again.
The soap is just castile soap? Do you have instructions on how to mix/use it for insect spray?
2 teaspoons to a gallon of water
I'm surprised you didn't call them out as stink bugs, which is definitely what you showed a picture of.
I run the ground processors around all the apple and pear trees and they collect all the down ground apples + pears and runs them through an acid bath then processes them into fertilizer. These processors are total pigs.
Kaloital clay spray works.
Awesome - we are planting apple trees this fall & this what i wanted to try. Good to know it works before purchasing, thanks for sharing!
I was just trying* to figure out what got to my apples this afternoon. “Picture This” called it a Star Apple. Pretty sure that was wrong, lol.
Any help for apple maggot?
I used maggot barriers for many years, it is time consuming to put on in the spring but worth it in the fall...I have dwarf trees so able to reach them.
We use BT. It will work wonders.
I also may try organza bags which already have draw strings because I have been putting drawstrings on the maggot barriers
Let's talk about apple maggots Luke!
BT is a reliable pesticide.
Please consider…naming the insect..in the description…so I can note the spelling and look into it further.
Thanks
Link isn't for Dr. Bronners, it's for a different brand. Does it matter?
Any Castile soap works
Stinkbug?
I have something called AFRID its an eating disorder. I HATE apples- I call them grossples. I was puzzled why this video was appealing to me and then I realized its giving me the same feelings I get when I watch a negatively construed video towards a celebrity I dont like
🤣🤣🤣 #neurodivergence
Excellent video! You hit my problem right on the head. I'll try to get the soap spray. Please answer Drea_Maylenn's question below.I have the same question. Thank you
Birds ate all of my apples while they were still green, so I’m guessing they were probably full of bugs 😢
It was most likely squirrels and not birds.
Definitely don’t like protein rich apples😂😂💚🐢
First!
I've had this issue for years and I'm considering cutting the apple tree down and planting another variety. Neem oil and even commercial insecticides haven't really helped. I couldn't find the name of this little pest until this video. Between this pest and japanese beetles, the tree doesn't stand a chance.
What variety do you have?
