bitter rot?
My daughter told me that they think they have bitter rot in the orchard where she works. She thinks that If I peel the apples and use them right away, they should be fine. Does anyone have experience with this? Can I still can the apples?
This may destroy their cider season. That's the last thing they need after losing most of the plums, peaches and nectarines to a very late freeze.
