Using apple maggot barriers keeps most apples clean of pests. Codling moth traps keeps worms away.Season records for this tree

I used the heavy apple maggot barriers (footies) on this tree and this seemed to prevent codling moth damage that did hit other trees harder this year that had the regular weight footies. Very rainy summer and fall!2015
