Three experiments with cultivars within the ‘Delicious’, ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘McIntosh’ groups were followed for 2 years in young commercial orchards. Differences in yield and its components were detected among cultivars within groups. While differences were not consistent from one year to the next there was no indication of alternate cropping. The number of fruits harvested accounted for most of the variation in yield in 1984 but the number of flower clusters was more important in 1985. Significant strain differences in yield were detected in ‘Golden Delicious’ in 1984 (due to differences in the number of fruit harvested), in ‘Delicious’ in 1985 (not attributable to a single yield component) and in ‘McIntosh’ in 1985 (due to differences in the number of flower clusters).
