Del,
Jon Clements has writeng a short articlke titled, "Painless and Efficient Apple Maturity Testing" found at http://web1.msue.msu.edu/berrien/hort/documents/starchindextest.pdf that uses the SI (Starch Index) method. He refers to "Predicting Harvest Date Windows for Apples" from Blanpied and Silsby at Cornell which is the Bible for harvesting apples. It is available at http://ecommons.library.cornell.edu/bitstream/1813/3299/2/Predicting+Harvest+Date+Window+for+Apples.pdf Hope this helps!

The apples I still have hanging are : Prairie Spy, Spartan, Iowa Beauty, Mandan,
Chestnut, MN1606, Haralson, Haralred, September Ruby, and Centennial.
We've had two mid-twenties frosts already, they all still look fine.
How does one pick specifically for optimal storage quality?
thanks, Del
