I have had those show up top, middle, and bottom of bunches. The last Hawaiian Apples I harvested that made it through the entire last winter had one whole side from top to bottom like those. It comprised about 1/3 of the bunch. I wonder if pup removal/root disturbance had any play in that? On the unknown (Becky) that is now fruiting, I removed a pup before it fruited disturbing the roots on one side of the plant. The next day a leaf turned yellow but it wasn't a lower leaf, it was about midway up the healthy leaves. Very weird.

Nice bunch of fruits!!
