During the growing season of 1968-69 in the Upper Valley of the Rio Negro in Argentina, there appeared unusual lesions on the pedicels of 'Golden Delicious' apples. These lesions, observed in several commercial orchards, occurred as small spots and as partial or complete narrow rings (1-2 mm wide) located generally in the middle portions of the pedicels. The injuries often allowed individual fruits to hang pendulously at right angles to their cluster bases. The fruits attached to the affected pedicels were sometimes much smaller than normal, owing presumably to a restriction in the movement of water and nutrients to these fruits.
