Melvin N. Westwood, professor emeritus of horticulture at Oregon State University, states in his classic textbook, Temperate Zone Pomology Physiology and Culture that under ideal conditions, maximum yields for Apples are 112 MT/ha which is 2081 bushels per acre. See Page 298, Table 11-7. (1 MT/ha = 892 lb/ac, 1bu of apples = 48 lb)
