A clearly defined colour separation is not unusual in gala apples
Dear Helen: A friend of mind recently bought a most unusual apple at our local grocery store. It is a Gala apple with an almost straight, vertical line dividing the fruit into two colours — a bright, speckled red and a greenish yellow. Is there an explanation for this?A clearly defined colour separation is, apparently, not unusual in some apples — Gala among them. You’ll find a photo just like yours on an internet search. I googled “Gala apple with straight line dividing two colours.
The condition looks alarming, but it is actually not a cause for serious concern. The disease does not lead to defoliation or permanent damage on the maples. This is a physiological disorder caused by insufficient calcium in the fruit tissues, but blossom end rot is often the result of soil moisture levels insufficient to carry the needed calcium through to the far end of a tomato, causing cells to collapse in that part of the tomato, with rotting to follow.
