Expert Response
Tree fruits can be a challenge to grow for the average homeowner. Apples tend to have several pest and disease problems and they need to be on a strict spray schedule. You will have to educate yourself on preventing and managing the most serious disease and pest problems. For general information see our website on pome fruit http://extension.umd.edu/growit/fruit-profiles/apples and our publication HG 69 Getting Started with Tree Fruitshttp://extension.umd.edu/sites/default/files/_images/programs/hgic/Publications/HG69_Getting_Started_with_Tree_Fruit.pdf
Below are some links to other extension spray schedules and information. Be aware that some of the products may not be registered for use in Maryland.
