Observations in commercial orchards have shown that 'Golden Delicious' has brittle wood as compared with that of 'Jonared'. This has been found to be true after a severe winter freeze that caused serious injury to main limbs and scaffold branches. In one particular instance, such severe injury persisted that, 2-3 years later, limb breakage occurred on trees with a heavy crop load. This caused great economic loss to the grower over a long period of time, and continued until all of the damaged wood was removed by pruning or breakage.
