A U.S. apple distributor says a smaller New Zealand crop this year has led to lower volumes, while sizes have also been lower year-on-year for Chilean fruit. Giumarra Wenatchee sales manager Jason Bushong told www.freshfruitportal.com the shortage had led to better prices for remaining U.S. apples and the Chilean deal. "For our market in the U.S. of course we like the larger sizes -we obviously don’t have much in the States yet but the pre-clearance numbers to the U.S. I think are one of the lowest ever from New Zealand so we’re greatly affected by it," he said. "Quite frankly the currency is a big issue too. The U.S. dollar isn’t trading well against the New Zealand dollar and that's a fact of life. "Chilean apples are faring better in fruit size compared to New Zealand, but in general they are smaller fruit sizes than last year as well." He says the supply situation has been difficult, but customers have shown flexibility. "They understand that what mother nature deals you, you have to deal with in the market as well." Bushong says there is good demand for many new varieties coming out of New Zealand, while the company will be trialing the Smitten and Lemonade varieties in limited volumes. Smitten is a high-brix breed of the Gala, Braeburn, Falstaff and Fiesta varieties, which is described as sweet and juicy with a pleasantly firm texture. Lemonade apples are yellow and slightly tart, with an effervescent flavor. Giumarra is sourcing its New Zealand apples from Yummy Fruit, Mr. Apple and Energie, and plans to supply customers with high volumes Braeburn, Fuji, Granny Smith, New Zealand Rose, Pink Lady and Royal Gala apples. "There are many varieties from New Zealand of course - some that we handle, some that others handle - Smitten, Temptation, Lemonade, and of course the Enza varieties like Jazz and Envy, and they all seem to have a place at this point just because of the spectacle that they’re new. "I think time will tell which ones will go into the market as acceptable and which ones won’t. "Consumers will continue to purchase traditional varieties, but retailers can help boost the FreshFruitPortal.com apple category by also offering special varieties with sampling and targeted merchandising."

— Granny Smith Apple —
— GRANNY SMITH APPLE — What are they? Granny Smith apples are famously green apples with a tart flavor that makes your mouth water. Originally from Australia, the apple has hard, light green skin and a crisp, juicy flesh. They are the best apples for baking your favorite apple pie recipe. Granny Smith apples don't brown as fast as other apples, which makes them perfect for fresh preparations, such as salads and salsas, or sliced and paired with cheese. When are they available? Granny Smith apples are harvested in September and October, but they are also available in winter, thanks to current storage conditions. What’s so cool about them? In 1891, "Granny" Anne Smith won the prize for cooking apples under the name Granny Smith’s Seedling at a horticultural show in Australia. Granny Smith is one of the best apples for baking pies because they do not change their natural shape once cooked due to the high acid content. When cool nights precede harvest, Granny Smith apples may develop a rosy pink blush. The Granny Smith Festival is held annually in Eastwood, a suburb of Sydney, Australia, to celebrate the apple. Why should I eat them? Granny Smith apples are packed with fiber, antioxidants, vitamin C, and phytonutrients. A medium apple has less than 100 calories and no sodium, fat or added sugar. One apple offers 4 g of fiber or 17% of the daily recommended value, which helps our bodies feel full longer. Last updated April 18, 2017 This institution is an equal opportunity provider. .

INF03 Reduce Lists of Apple Varieites
ECE/TRADE/C/WP.7/GE.1/2009/INF.3 Specialized Section on Standardization of Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Fifty-fifth session Geneva, 4 - 8 May 2009 Items 4(a) of the provisional agenda REVISION OF UNECE STANDARDS Proposals on the list of apple varieties This note has been put together by the secretariat following the decision taken by the Specialized Section at its fifty-fourth session to collect information from countries on varieties that are important in international trade. 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.

 Make Your Own Apple Cider Vinegar
Make Your Own Apple Cider Vinegar Once you know the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar, you may want to try making your own at home. Apple Cider Vinegar is known to be high in phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. It is also valuable in preventing heartburn and in helping with digestion. Apple Cider Vinegar is also beneficial for the skin. Adding a little to your bath can help to naturally restore the skin’s pH. It can also kill off bacteria and fungus on the skin which are the cause of many skin problems including eczema and dandruff. You can also use it as a substitute for conditioner after you shampoo. Just a few things to keep in mind: ● For the best results, use organic apples. This way you’ll know they are free from pesticides which can interfere with fermentation. You can also use leftover peels and cores if you have them. ● What is the best apple to use? Try a variety! Some of the more popular varieties you could try are Gala, Granny Smith, Fuji, Honeycrisp, and McIntosh. ● Use very clean containers washed in hot, soapy water. Not doing so could cause bad bacteria being added to your ACV which can result in mold growth. ● You will be making ACV that is unfiltered and unpasteurized. Because of this, your ACV will contain what is known as “mother”. This is strands of proteins, friendly bacteria,and enzymes that develop during the fermentation process in the vinegar. This causes the ACV to have a murky or cloudy appearance but it’s nothing to worry about.

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.
