Bitter pit
Apparently my Bramleys are being attacked by bitter pit, and my gardening
encyclopaedia recommends "spray with calcium nitrate every ten days from early summer until harvesting" This for me would be a mammoth task. Is there any procedure to treat the trees with calcium nitrate to the roots? Alistair |

Alistair The advice is sound, you can of course cure the problem using control of water, young trees are especially prone and the trick is to keep the water supply constant. They often just grow out of it. -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |
