Points for Apple Storage from Towa Agricultural College

The horticultural department offers tips for farm storage of apples. Select sound fruit and discard overly green or icy fruit. Store in a well insulated room or buried in sawdust straw or dirt, which may affect flavor. Aim for near freezing temperatures without freezing the fruit. Some apples like Newton or Spiteburn can tolerate freezing if thawed slowly. In fall keep the room cool by night ventilation, open windows at night and close them during the day. Maintain about 90 percent humidity without condensation on fruit. Ensure good ventilation and consider wrapping fancy apples in tissue paper.
