Here’s a branch from my apple tree. I cut it off the show but the apples are starting to rot as they are growing. This happened lasts year. Do yall have an idea what’s going on and or what I can do? All the apples so far look wilted and rotting.

fungal infection in fruit trees is common

most likely blossom end rot, caused by calcium deficiency. these apples are 'blushing' or ripening and can be removed from the vine to prevent rotting. ripening on the counter tastes the same.
