We have experienced water core in about 30% of our Paula Red Apples. They are in two different blocks in the orchard and the problem exists throughout the crop. The problem is on small and large apples and on almost ripe and over ripe apples. The only different chemical that was used this year was Appogee. We applied calcium as a nutrient but have done so consistently over the years.
In seven years we have never experienced this problem. Has anyone else checked on their crop? Has anyone else experienced this under these unique growing conditions.
