Gloeosporium and Colletotrichum - varietal susceptibility

Apple varieties do vary in susceptibility to Gloeosporium spp.

  • These rots are commonly found on stored Cox, Golden Delicious and occasionally on Gala and Egremont Russet, but rare on Bramley and Jonagold.
  • However, Colletotrichum spp. often occur on Bramley as both a cheek rot and a core rot.
