Growing apples organically in rainy and humid climate.

Our family has 5 apple trees in PA Z 6. It is rainy and humid a lot of time. I planted the trees 3 years ago. The trees are about 7 to 8 feet tall and loose most of their leaves and produce no apples.

I never sprayed them but was planning on using copper, sulfur, baking soda and garlic this year. Is there anything else you can recommend? Am not looking for perfect fruit...would just like to 'get some' fruit!

Thanks

I cannot begin to guess about disease pressure in PA.

Did you buy these critters already in potting soil containers, or were they bareroot when you got them.

Describe the manner you planted them, please.

And what sort of apples are they?

Do you know the rootstocks?
