Among anthocyanins, content levels of the main one, cyanidin 3-galactoside, as well as cyanidin 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3-arabinoside were lowest for inner fruit, they were followed by outer fruit, while top fruit achieved the highest values. Concentrations
of other cyanidin pentosides were not dependent on fruit position in the tree canopy. Therefore, in our study no decrease in cyanidin glycosides content levels due to hail net was observed. The content levels of catechin, epicatechin and chlorogenic acid in apple skin were not dependent on fruit position in the tree
