I just established a small apple orchard this year which includes a few Kingston Black trees on M9. All season long the new leaves on the KB have had a dark purple hue to them, something I normally associate with a nutrient deficiency. However, nearby trees of other varieties do not exhibit this. Anyone else who has grown KB's- are they susceptible to nutrient deficiency or are their leaves just purple?
