Yes! Apples Has Its Game on in the Apple Industry - Advertisement - Yes! Apples has its game on in the apple industry March 10, 2020 Since Glenmont, NY-based New York Apple Sales’ launch of its new Yes! Apples’ branding initiative at the 2019 Produce Marketing Fresh Summit in Anaheim, CA, last October, the new and exciting consumer brand continues to spread the news about its extensive line of premium quality apple varieties being offered under the attractive and eye-catching new banner. Vice President of Marketing Jim Allen told The Produce News that the initiative is moving forward at breakneck speed to let retailers and consumers know that the Yes! Apples banner is not only a great consumer selling tool, but it also steps up to help resolve the confusion many consumers today face in making their apple-purchasing decisions because of the numerous varieties on the market. 1 / 3 Yes! Apples boxes now on retailers’ shelves.“Everyone has a favorite, or a few favorite, apple varieties,” said Allen. “Many are proprietary and so are sold only under their brand names. New York Apple Sales sells New York State proprietary varieties; SnapDragon and RubyFrost. And we sell the KORU and EverCrisp varieties, which are also grown in places outside of New York.” “Still, there remains a large number of popular apple varieties that have previously been sold under company names or brands,” he continued. “Yes! Apples brings a fresh, new brand and logo to produce departments that consumers can rely on, and still have their favorite varieties.” New York Apple Sales’ Yes! Apples brand includes always popular varieties such as Honeycrisp, Gala, Fuji, McIntosh, Pink Lady, Red Delicious, Smitten, SweeTango, EverCrisp, RubyFrost and others. Allen said the new brand is the result of extensive consumer research, market analysis, customer focus groups and survey panels to help identify the best messaging to influence consumer decisions. He pointed out that at a consumer event following the PMA Fresh Summit last year in California, visitors flocked to the NYAS’ booth to check out the excitement. “The answer was clear,” noted Allen. “YES! Apples is a fresh look with a contemporary design that fits well into the buying habits and preferences of today’s consumers. Everyone, including millennials, react to product messaging that addresses their interests and typically includes a reason to purchase.” In its new brand messaging, NYAS calls out that its family business has been involved in the apple business since 1919. And the company has been owned and operated by women since 1999. It has established decades of history and roots in New York state, and is looked upon as a leading supplier, which is attested to by its many long-time and dedicated growing partners in New York and far beyond, including offshore producers. The Yes! Apple brand initiative, however, emphasizes locally grown. 2 / 3 “The Yes! Apple brand affirms fresh, local and juicy,” said Allen. “The new name is being used on packaging and in promotional materials. New York Apple Sales is the exclusive distributor of Yes! Apples.” Print Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) 3 / 3.

  • Stemilt Awarded License to New University of Minnesota Apple Cultivar
    - Advertisement - Stemilt awarded license to new University of Minnesota apple cultivar September 8, 2014 The University of Minnesota has awarded Stemilt Growers the license to grow, pack, and market a new, early-to-ripen apple cultivar. The patent name for the cultivar is MN55, and the University of Minnesota plans to trademark a name for the fruit in conjunction with Stemilt in the near future. MN55 was born 17 years ago at the University of Minnesota's apple-breeding program, the same place that the now national phenomenon Honeycrisp heralds from. MN55, a new early-to-ripen apple. The new cultivar has 1 / 3 exceptional flavors, color, and fracture and will be the first variety to harvest in Washington state and go to market come 2017. MN55 is a cross between Honeycrisp and an unreleased variety labeled as AA44 that is sometimes known as MonArk. With similar yet more defined flavor and quality attributes as Honeycrisp and AA44's characteristics to ripen early yet color well and maintain a crisp, juicy texture through the summer heat, Stemilt believes the new cultivar is a winner. "We have a small block of trees that will produce small volumes of fruit come 2017, and a larger planting that will increase volumes for 2018 and beyond," Stemilt Marketing Director Roger Pepperl said in a press release. "We are thrilled at the prospect of having a high dessert-quality apple that will reinvent the month of August for the apple category. MN55 is very juicy and sweet and holds excellent pressures. These are unusual qualities for such an early apple to possess, and the exact qualities that consumers have come to love in an apple." The journey to develop a new apple cultivar is not a quick process and requires great efforts.

Elucidate roles for previously identified candidate genes in ethylene, auxin, gibberellin, jasmonate and brassinosteroid metabolism and response during apple fruit ripening. 2. Characterize the relationship between gene expression patterns and specific fruit ripening phenotypes (ripening season, fruit size, fruit texture) in a cross population of ‘Honeycrisp’ x ‘Cripps Pink’, as well as other germplasm. 3. Develop a shortlist of candidate genes for hormone metabolism for further validation for use in marker assisted selection. SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS 1. Most of the selected genes, based on the results from previous microarray or gene chip analysis, showed correlations with apple fruit ripening processes among a wide spectrum of apple germplasm including several commercial cultivars and a segregating population of ‘Honeycrisp’ x ‘Cripps Pink’.

  • Sweetango Apple Rolls out Across Europe
    With production and popularity of the SweeTango apple rapidly growing in North America, commercial plantings are now also gathering steam across Europe. The variety, a cross of Honeycrisp and Zestar apples, was developed by the University of Minnesota, and over recent years various trial and commercial plantations have been established in countries spanning the continent. University of Minnesota operations director Tom Hutton told www.freshfruitportal.com the Minneiska trees had been supplied to a number of major apple producer- The first commercial harvest of SweeTango in Europe marketers 'from Spain to Scandinavia'. "These groups are in the process of completing a three to four-year evaluation period to determine the suitability of growing the variety under their environmental conditions," he said. "At the conclusion of the testing period they may be eligible to be licensed for commercial production. Presently we have licensed three commercial groups with others in negotiations and several new groups expressing interest in beginning testing." He said 'strong growth with moderate volume' was expected over the next decade or so, as the variety is believed to fill a 'unique and important niche' in the early part of the season. Commercial licenses have so far been granted to companies in Italy, Austria and Switzerland, but currently the fruit has only been sold in the latter through the variety's exclusive Swiss marketer, Geiser Agro. Geiser Agro's fruit division manager Jurg Burri said the test trees were first planted in 2012 followed by commercial plantings two years later. FreshFruitPortal.com "We are working together with the University of Minnesota on a concept and they have different partners identified already in Europe," he said.

  • Rave Apples Set to Make a Bigger Mark at Retail in August
    - Advertisement - Rave apples set to make a bigger mark at retail in August July 23, 2018 The apple to rave about is ready to make a bigger mark with shoppers nationwide as it enters its second year of commercial production. Rave is the trademark name for the MN55 apple cultivar, an early-to-ripen Honeycrisp cross with a juicy flavor. Stemilt Growers is the North American grower- marketer of Rave and will begin shipping the apple around Aug. 6. 1 / 2 “It’s almost time to build upon the incredibly successful launch year of Rave apples,” said Brianna Shales, Stemilt communications manager. “We have a bigger crop than in 2017, which is expected as more trees continue to come into production now and over the next few years. That means more shoppers than ever before will get to enjoy the crunch, snappy zing, and refreshing flavor that Rave brings to produce departments each August.” Stemilt expects stunning color and larger sizing on Rave apples this season, which is common as young trees develop and mature. The weather has been near-perfect in eastern Washington throughout the spring and summer season and that will build up sugars and acids and the incredible juiciness that Rave is known for. “With volumes still not enough to match demand, we anticipate a short but very sweet season for Rave,” said Shales. “It has the flavor and appearance to kick-off the first five weeks of apple season with a bang. This second commercial crop gives us the opportunity to keep introducing people to Rave and build fans for what we know is a great future for this apple.” The MN55 cultivar apple is a cross between Honeycrisp and an unreleased variety called MonArk.
