Here in Western Montana we had a few weeks of above average temps and the
bloom on our trees was huge. I'm new at apples and didn't realize how much
the trees were going to be over loaded with fruitlets. Now I have to thin

from the tip downwards. The idea is to cut well below where the infection has
traveled. You can cut away some bark and see where the brown area meets green
cambium. I cut pass this point - well past it. I'm guessing I
My gut feeling, not based on any science I know of, just a few years of kicking
dirt around, is too leave them until dormant, so that they can help with photo
timing in the fall and the senescence will put back some nutrients. Just
