Any idea what is wrong with these bramleys? Had a real issue with them last year-thought it was because there were so many close together then they were going rotten but it doesnt seem that is the case!

I'm wondering if bordeaux mixture would help. Have big fungus problems here-roses, peach leaf curl, now apples.

Yes. Bordeaux mixture can be used against downy mildew, scab, fruit leaf curl and canker.

Bordeaux Mixture (Vitax) is being withdrawn and cannot be sold after the 30th November 2014 and remaining stocks must be used or disposed of before the 30th November 2015.

You can buy commercially-available Bordeaux mixture at better nurseries, usually sold under a name resembling “Brand-Name Fungicide”. You can also make your own, but the raw ingredients are not readily available in smaller, home-garden quantities. Because the materials themselves can be somewhat hazardous to work with, If you visit the UC Davis IPM website it has the recipe and safe handling instructions.

I'm not sure that is Bourdeax mixture as such, I think it is copper fungicide and you can still buy that here.
Withdrawn chemicals/RHS Gardening

Buy Vitax Copper Mixture 175g from Little Fields Farm

Its being sold as a trace element.

It’s sold as

Vitax Bordeaux Mixture 175g
€4.95

Surely you can’t sell something that’s not what it says it is

Well maybe you can in Ireland, to be honest I dont know, but true Bordeaux mixture appears, according the the RHS, to be banned by the EU.
