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?
