It has long been known that sufficient red color cannot be obtained on our standard apple varieties when high nitrogen fertilization is the practice. This is especially true under Eastern conditions where climatic factors are not so conducive to the formation of red color as they are in the Pacific Northwest. The fact that nitrogen applications have to be lower in Eastern orchards may be one contributing factor to our lower per acre production.
