Coloring of apples is influenced by sunlight and moisture, thus some growers here in the California Central Valley have installed overhead misters and quite a few growers everywhere will use white material for ground covering to reflect more light up into the tree canopy. Still, I have never seen Fuji (Red Fuji or otherwise) with such an intense color. I'd like to get a stick of wood from either of you (Benny or Joe) this winter.

I also have a papaya indoors right now and it's about 30" high right now. It was just sent as a bonus with one of my banana purchases as a form of apology by the seller by delaying shipment of my order. I am expecting to plant it outdoors late next spring with hopes of it producing fruit outdoors. I also hope to trial a different low-fruiting papaya.
