    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.

  • The Partial Compositional Characteristics of Apple Juice from 175 Apple Varieties Thomas A
    ARTICLE IN PRESS JOURNAL OF FOOD COMPOSITION AND ANALYSIS Journal of Food Composition and Analysis 18 (2005) 213–221 www.elsevier.com/locate/jfca Original Article The partial compositional characteristics of apple juice from 175 apple varieties Thomas A. Eiselea,*, Stephen R. Drakeb a Analytical Services, Tree Top Inc., 111 S. Railroad Avenue, PO Box 248, Selah, WA 98942, USA b Agricultural Research Service, USDA, 1104 N. Western Avenue, Wenatchee, WA 98801, USA Received 14 April 2003; received in revised form 30 October 2003; accepted 6 January 2004 Abstract The partial compositional characteristics were determined for apple juice from 175 non-commercial varieties of apples developed from scion wood collected from approximately 12 countries and several USA geographical areas. Juices from many of the varieties were high in malic acid and potassium. Mean values for many of the attributes did not match existing compositional database value means. However, some of the overall minimum and maximum values for the various attributes (i.e., Brix, pH, ash, TA, sucrose, glucose, fructose, sorbitol, malic, citric, fumaric, sodium, and calcium) in this study compared reasonably well with existing compositional database values. Distribution of phenolics between the various varieties was highly variable with some juices containing little if any phenolic compounds. Chlorogenic acid and phloridzin were detected in all varietal samples while arbutin and HMF were not measurable. The data developed should be useful with other databases in describing authentic apple juice and in the development of future apple commercial varieties to target specific consumer requirements. r 2004 Elsevier Inc.

  • Apple Pollination Groups
    Flowering times of apples RHS Pollination Groups To ensure good pollination and therefore a good crop, it is essential to grow two or more different cultivars from the same Flowering Group or adjacent Flowering Groups. Some cultivars are triploid – they have sterile pollen and need two other cultivars for good pollination; therefore, always grow at least two other non- triploid cultivars with each one. Key AGM = RHS Award of Garden Merit * Incompatible with each other ** Incompatible with each other *** ‘Golden Delicious’ may be ineffective on ‘Crispin’ (syn. ‘Mutsu’) Flowering Group 1 Very early; pollinated by groups 1 & 2 ‘Gravenstein’ (triploid) ‘Lord Suffield’ ‘Manks Codlin’ ‘Red Astrachan’ ‘Stark Earliest’ (syn. ‘Scarlet Pimpernel’) ‘Vista Bella’ Flowering Group 2 Pollinated by groups 1,2 & 3 ‘Adams's Pearmain’ ‘Alkmene’ AGM (syn. ‘Early Windsor’) ‘Baker's Delicious’ ‘Beauty of Bath’ (partial tip bearer) ‘Beauty of Blackmoor’ ‘Ben's Red’ ‘Bismarck’ ‘Bolero’ (syn. ‘Tuscan’) ‘Cheddar Cross’ ‘Christmas Pearmain’ ‘Devonshire Quarrenden’ ‘Egremont Russet’ AGM ‘George Cave’ (tip bearer) ‘George Neal’ AGM ‘Golden Spire’ ‘Idared’ AGM ‘Irish Peach’ (tip bearer) ‘Kerry Pippin’ ‘Keswick Codling’ ‘Laxton's Early Crimson’ ‘Lord Lambourne’ AGM (partial tip bearer) ‘Maidstone Favourite’ ‘Margil’ ‘Mclntosh’ ‘Red Melba’ ‘Merton Charm’ ‘Michaelmas Red’ ‘Norfolk Beauty’ ‘Owen Thomas’ ‘Reverend W.

Garden Organic/Food for Life Partnership disclaim any warranty or representation, expressed or implied about the accuracy, completeness or appropriateness of such Health and Safety advice and guidance for any particular purpose. Introduction This manual gives advice on how to grow fruit in schools using organic methods. Crops covered include apples, pears, strawberries, cane fruits (raspberries, blackberries and hybrid berries) and bush fruits (gooseberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants and whitecurrants). Also included is a section suggesting ways in which the school and wider community can reconnect with the food they eat through growing fruit. We appreciate that teachers and learning support staff are already very busy, with little additional time to devote to high-maintenance crops. So, from a time and maintenance perspective, these are the easiest fruits to grow. Varietal recommendations are based mostly on the ability of the variety to fruit within the school summer or autumn term-time, although precise date of harvest will obviously vary between regions, according to local climatic factors. We have not included a chapter on stone fruits (plums, cherries, apricots etc) as they are a little trickier to grow and many varieties ripen during the school summer holidays.
