HAT ACTION DO I NEED TO TAKE ON MY APPLE TREES
By Valrod
somerset,
United Kingdom 
I HAVE TWO APPLE TREES (GALA AND BRAEBURN). THIS YEAR THEY HAVE FRUITED VERY WELL WITH A GOOD CROP BUT THE FRUIT HAS SPOTS AND BLEMISHS ALL OVER THE PEEL. THE FRUIT TASTE FINE AND THE SPOTS AND BLEMISHS ARE ONLY SKIN DEEP. WHAT DO I NEED TO TRET THE TREES WITH TO PREVENT THIS DAMAGE TO THE FRUITS IN FUTURE YEARS?????

If the spots are only skin deep, then either ignore it and peel before eating (the fruit, not you!) OR spray at two week intervals from petal drop with Copper sulphate (reasonably organic) or Dithane (read the instructions on the packet.
