The problem of fruit skin cracking and splitting occurs in many apple cultivars. Evidence from gross morphological and anatomical examination of the internal structures of 6 apple cultivars showed that ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’ apples had internal ring-cracking (IRC) which occurred at the fruit-stem joint. Ring-cracking occurred in fruit with splitting and in fruit without splitting. This paper describes some of the physical characteristics of these internal ring-cracks.
