Dear akmanty:
 
    The problem you describe sounds like a disease called moldy core which infects the apple immediately post bloom.  It generally occurs during years of near constant rains during the immediate post bloom period where the organism enters the fruit from the bottom of the newly forming apple.
 
    And there is nothing much which can be done to prevent it.  Some publications recommend application of the various edbc fungicides (Polyram, Dithane, etc.), but I doubt that it would help.
 
    Hope this helps.
 
ed, So. Indiana, almost heaven (again)

We have had several apples fall off our Snow apple tree.  Some have worm
holes.  But this particular one looked OK on the outside, but when I cut
it open to see how it was ripening, the core area and then some, appears
to have a brown rot.  I have never seen this before, in all my years of
growing apples.  Any ideas as to what it might be?
