    ADAMS PEARMAIN Herefordshire, England 1862 Oct 15 Nov Mar 14 Adams Pearmain is a an old-fashioned late dessert apple, one of the most popular varieties in Victorian England. It has an attractive 'pearmain' shape. This is a fairly dry apple - which is perhaps not regarded as a desirable attribute today. In spite of this it is actually a very enjoyable apple, with a rich aromatic flavour which in apple terms is usually described as Although it had 'shelf appeal' for the Victorian housewife, its autumnal colouring is probably too subdued to compete with the bright young things of the modern supermarket shelves. Perhaps this is part of its appeal; it recalls a bygone era where subtlety of flavour was appreciated - a lovely apple to savour in front of an open fire on a cold winter's day. Tree hardy. Does will in all soils, even clay. AERLIE RED FLESH (Hidden Rose, Mountain Rose) California 1930’s 19 20 20 Cook Oct 20 15 An amazing red fleshed apple, discovered in Aerlie, Oregon, which may be the best of all red fleshed varieties and indeed would be an outstandingly delicious apple no matter what color the flesh is. A choice seedling, Aerlie Red Flesh has a beautiful yellow skin with pale whitish dots, but it is inside that it excels. Deep rose red flesh, juicy, crisp, hard, sugary and richly flavored, ripening late (October) and keeping throughout the winter. The late Conrad Gemmer, an astute observer of apples with 500 varieties in his collection, rated Hidden Rose an outstanding variety of top quality.

  • New Apple Cultivars with Resistance to Multiple Diseases on the Way
    NEW APPLE CULTIVARS WITH RESISTANCE TO MULTIPLE DISEASES ON THE WAY New apple cultivar development is well underway for RosBREED, thanks to a cutting-edge rapid breeding technique and application of DNA information generated in the project. Dr. Jay Norelli at the USDA-ARS Appalachian Fruit Research Station, Kearneysville, WV, is breeding apple trees with genetic resistance to scab and fire blight, two major challenges for U.S. apple growers. Apple scab is a common fungal disease managed by pesticide sprays and clearing leaf debris at season’s end. Fire blight is a bacterial disease difficult to prevent and even harder to control once an orchard is infected. Fortunately, we have sources of genetic resistance to the two diseases for breeders to use as parents. ‘Enterprise’ carries genetic resistance to both scab (Rvi6 resistance factor originally from the wild species Malus floribunda) and fire blight (FB7 source from heritage cultivar Cox’s Orange Pippin), and ‘Splendour’ carries resistance to fire blight at another genetic location (FB5, original source still under investigation). ‘Honeycrisp’ carries another resistance factor for scab (RviHC) and an allele for its characteristic crisp fruit texture, for which RosBREED has developed a DNA test (Ma-Indel). Using traditional selective breeding strategies to combine all these resistance alleles into a single Norelli’s breeding scheme for combining scab resistance, fire blight individual would take decades, even enhanced with resistance, and fruit quality traits into one apple cultivar. DNA tests. Apple trees generally don’t bloom until they’re around four years old. Even if a breeder knows a young tree would make a good parent, they must wait years to cross it.

There was a significant effect of fruit position in the canopy on heat accumulation in fruit surface. Fruits born in southern part of the canopy were more heated than those from other tree parts. It was found that a blush contributed to an increase of fruit temperature, especially those from southern parts of the canopy.

Replies have been received from the following countries: Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA. This note also includes the documents compiled for the same purpose and submitted to the fifty-second session of the Specialized Section. I. Documents submitted to the 52nd session of the Specialized Section A. UNECE Standard for Apples – List of Varieties At the last meeting the 51 st session of the Specialized Section GE.1 the delegation of the United Kingdom offered to coordinate efforts to simplify the list of apple varieties. The aim was to see what the result would be if we only include the most important varieties that are produced and traded. The list is designed to help distinguish apple varieties by colour groups, size and russeting it is not exhaustive, non-listed varieties can still be marketed. The idea should not be to list every variety grown in every country. The UK asked for views on what were considered to be the most important top thirty varieties. Eight countries sent their views, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, USA, Slovakia, Germany Finland and the Czech Republic.
