What's making marks on my apples?

    First thought would be scab.

    Hi Gemma, I believe it was the hailstorm we had yesterday that's caused this, thanks anyhow

    More like bird damage or wasps.

    Yes trademark pockmarks from hailstorm.

    That's what it looks like to me too .... I remember the hail damaged fruit in the orchards around where I used to live way back when. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I can see now how it is just on one side. Better to have hail damage than scab! Wouldn't regard it as a problem, just eat the apples when ready as they won't be so good for storage.

    Certainly, it's not a big tree so eating fresh will be what I do anyway, they do look delicious
