Diseases and pests
Apple trees of Korah have good immunity to the disease in the form of brown spot. However, fruit trees of this variety are completely defenseless against such diseases: scab and powdery mildew.

Processing must be carried out with a special device - a sprayer, for its uniform spraying, without harming trees. Apple trees Korah should be processed in calm, windless weather, preferably immediately after the rain has passed.
