Bitter Rot Apples Attack July and August Harvest
Bitter rot affects apples during July and August as a fungus weakens ripening fruit. Hot, wet weather after rain accelerates the disease, while cool, dry summers slow it. The fungus spreads across the United States, with cases in many states and likely in most apple growing regions. Early signs begin as faint light brown spots on nearly full grown fruit.
