The Mediterranean climate of the Western Cape of South Africa (33°S) is considered one of the warmest apple growing areas in the world, and as a consequence problems are experienced with red colour development.
Since there is a market demand for bicoloured apples and pears, understanding and improving blush development is of prime importance to the pome fruit industry.
