What starts as a red dot grows into a round, slightly sunken brown spot with a circular lighter spot in the center.<\/p>\n

The fungus Neofabraea<\/em> lives in cankers in trees, in pruning wounds and leaf scars. In these canker spots, spores are produced which, after spreading, infect the lenticels<\/a> of the fruits. Apple is more susceptible to bitter rot than pear.<\/p>\n

Affected apples and pears are still edible, but don’t wait too long to consume them, because the fungus grows quickly.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Where to find” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1537946500082{background-color: #536895 !important;}”][vc_column_text el_id=”entrytxt” el_class=”entrytxt” css=”.vc_custom_1633511547045{padding-left: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
