Apples

If your apples had brown sucken spots, this is a condition called bitter pit and is caused by a lack of calcium or too hard of pruning.

The easiest way to solve this issue is to add lime, 80# per 1000 sq feet ASAP. By spring the winter rain will have dissolved the lime and moved it into the soil around the roots.

Be aware that several of the late or winter apples are getting water core or the collection of apple juice in the center of the apple. This is natural. Many varieties get water core. Solution: make apple cider.
