What I fail
to understand with the ziplock bag approach is how you prevent the tightly
sealed ziplock bag, when applied young so to avoid spraying, from cutting into
the stem of the apple as is grows. My observation is a tight seal
bites into the stem to such an extent the apples become vulnerable to falling
from the tree in a storm, further agitated by the natural "sail"
effect of the bag itself. And it is clear that the insects simply crawled
down the stem due to the slight gap I left on my apples, which was left as a
direct observation of the loss I incurred the previous season due to stem
retardation..
Very puzzled...
