Victorian horticultural officers outline safe cool storage for Jonathan apples as harvest nears. Low storage temps cause soft scald, so keep at 36 F to end April, 34 F to end May, then 32 F. Address breakdown in large or overripe fruit and advise marketing over-sized produce soon after picking. Also note Jonathan spot in overmature fruit and proper picking when ground color shifts to yellowish green. To prevent surface scald wrap Granny Smith and Stewart in oil impregnated paper.
