Of nine apple cultivars grown commercially in Nova Scotia, Gravenstein, Wayne and Northern Spy were the most sensitive to low temperature stresses of December, 1980. Injury occurred on the trunk below the lower limbs and in the crotch area of the main limbs. The extent of damage to the trees was evident following removal of dead bark and adjacent tissue where it had not exfoliated. The percent of healthy tissue lost was recorded and is illustrated in a series of photographs. No injury could be found in the rootstock at or just below the soil line.
