Pink Lady Apple advice needed (forum)

KateM starts with ...
Hi all, I'm a newbie to growing fruit trees and have come across a problem with my dwarf pink lady apple tree. The fruit has holes in them, most just small although some apples are completely hollow now, but I'm yet to see any bugs. I wondered if it was coddling moth but I'm not sure? Any advice would be much appreciated! The dwarf Fuji I've planted next to it hasn't got any issues with the fruit.

Hi Pink Lady
The green worm like caterpillar might have nibbled your precious apple. I am also considering coddling moth larvae but there is no tunneling inside the apple as evidenced by the image you have uploaded. If the small green worm is the culprit spray the entire tree with bacillus thuringiensis. It's non toxic and it only kills caterpillars.
