Dennis & Don,
Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. The leaves on my trees are very healthy with no
signs of damage. The fruits, however, have punctures and in some cases
"bites." The gummy substance ( which I now agree was sap) has now
disappeared. Looking at my apples and pears, some of the same punctures
are evident. Based on this and my location (SW TN near Shiloh), I suspect
the moth is probably the culprit. How did anything ever survive before the
discovery of chemical sprays? Does anyone know any varieties that are less
susceptible?
