During the summer cottage season, many people wonder whether it is worth cleaning up fallen apples.
Not everyone does this, considering the process a waste of time.
However, experienced gardeners always remove fallen fruit.
What are their reasons for this?
Pests
It is worth understanding that fallen apples can attract insects that you would not want to encounter. First of all, wasps should be mentioned. Their bite can be extremely dangerous.
The fruits will also attract flies and bees.
Diseases
In most cases, healthy apples do not fall off: the reason lies in diseases. If the apples are not removed, the pathogenic flora will begin to actively spread.
As a result, you will have to treat the entire garden, which is clearly not part of your plans.
Fungus
The process of rotting itself causes the spread and appearance of fungal diseases. They spread quickly and actively.
For these reasons, it is recommended to remove fallen apples as quickly as possible. This process is extremely important for maintaining a neat garden.
