Most apple varieties are big ethylene producers and are also sensitive to ethylene exposure. Jazz™, however, is a low ethylene producer.

Apples are odor sensitive and should be stored away from odor producing items, like onions and avocados.

All apples are moderately sensitive to chilling injury.
