Then as November approached it became quite prevalent on other varieties (HoneyCrisp, Golden Delicious) Not seeing it on Granny Smith no Gala. This was before storage, that is on the tree.

In most cases I can distinguish a circular lighter-colored zone centered on a lenticel, but this often merges into similar tan-colored skin beyond the single lenticel. None of the spots I have seen is larger than the the diameter of a 5-cent coin. Affected skin is not different than normal skin to the touch. There is no pitting or depression in the affected area. Note that in one of the Mutsu fruits shown, discoloration is limited to the calyx-end points. In several years I have seen scald symptoms near the end of storage season (late February, March), but now in mid-November, I don't expect to see superficial scald. I am wondering whether others have seen similar symptoms.
