Plum curculio? #807766

Asked August 23, 2022, 9:59 PM EDT

This is the second year my Honeycrisp have had it and its spread to my Macintosh this year. My Zestar have not had it yet. Is it Plum Curculio and anything else I can do besides get rid of all of the fruit? Pictures of the Honeycrisp apples are attached. Thank you!
