APPLE TREE QUESTION
On plant
I noticed on one of my apple trees today bits of white fluffy, cotton wool type tufts with dots inside them. When I squashed these dots, there was a blood-like substance in them. Anyone any idea what this could be, is this some sort of pest?

Thanks for that Kenny - I've looked it up and it seems quite easy to treat. I'll start tomorrow!

I wish it was easy to treat. You will have to be vigilant and look at all other trees in the area otherwise they will come back next year when the babies become active.

I've looked at the other trees and they seem to be OK, but I'll keep an eye on them. Thanks.
