Thanks for making and posting this video. I saw a lot of this on my golden delicious last year and was trying to figure out what this problem was. Now I know!

I have some of that on my Honeycrisp this year. We had a warm wet period for about 2 weeks. Thanks for the video.

Thank you so much for this video because Granny Smith apples in Duluth Georgia are definitely affected with this problem. I guess I'll be doing a lot of scrubbing (smile).

Thank you SO much for this video! I’m totally new to this and the house I bought has a beautiful apple tree but it seems like the birds have been eating them and I’ve also seen some red ants and leafs with lots of holes in them. I’m happy that at least I can clean the apples to look norma!

Does it contribute to fruit rotting more easily?
