What can I use on apple trees to spray them to keep worms away? I just got a few apple trees so I know I won't need this this year but just thought I'd ask for in the future..

I sure hope someone knows. I have 3 old apple trees and 4 new ones. The new ones have the rust spots. There's an old apple guy that told me I needed to spray them with Captan. But that's an awful chemical and I don't use any here. So I am very interested in organic.

Good post Beverley:
I'm waiting for one of the MJF to come in and answer. MJF are smart about almost everything. I'll be checking in to see what they say. I wish I knew the answer. But other than chemical sprays, I have no idea. Like Kris, I'd rather something organic.
