Hello all, we moved into a new house a few months ago and inherited some lovely very mature apple trees (10ft plus and at least six of them). I pruned them back some over the winter (the garden is very overgrown so it wasn't an ideal task) and cleared as much ivy as I could from them. They've obviously been very heavy croppers as the previous owner had buckets of apples around and there are still plenty on the floor.
I'm keen to make the most of the crop this year but vividly remember finding worms in our homegrown apples as a child and it somewhat ruining the experience.. presumably this would have the potential to ruin stored apples too?
Have been researching 'tree wash' which seems like the solution but works out very expensive for this many trees at the sizes they are and am reading mixed reviews about how well it works.
Does any one with more experience have advise? And apple tree advise in general please!
Thanks!
