I have two trees, one of which is a Macintosh. Last year, I
sprayed them with cygon 2-e and a dormant oil spray (before budding) and with (WILSON) FRUIT TREE SPRAY after.
And again ,for the third year in a row, 95% of my apples fell from the trees after growimg to 3\4" in width.
This year I repeated this process without cygon 2e and the dormant oil. One of them didn't loose any fruit, the other (the Macintosh), again, lost 90% of it's fruit.
The lost apples seem to have gained a yellowish taint and the end of the stem looks all dried up. I also noticed brown spots on the leaves.
Can someone clarify or explain what's happening and what the proper spraying procedure is?
I live in Quebec, Canada by the way...
Excuse me if my English isn't up to par...
