Where coloring is generally prioritized and leaves are dropped — by leaving leaves handling photosynthesis — slowly raising the internal sugar content over time. Accordingly — appearance color gets individuality — but biting once — clearly understands they grow into apples with rich flavor and abundant aroma.
