  • Apples Catalogue 2019
    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.

  • Reliable Fruit Tree Varieties for Santa Cruz County
    for the Gardener Reliable Fruit Tree Varieties for Santa Cruz County lanting a fruit tree is, or at least should be, a considered act involving a well thought-out plan. In a sense, you “design” a tree, or by extension, an orchard—and as tempting as it may be to grab a shovel and start digging, the Plast thing you do is plant the tree. There are many elements to the plan for successful deciduous fruit tree growing. They include, but are not limited to – • Site selection • Sanitation, particularly on the orchard floor • Soil—assessment and improvement • Weed management • Scale and diversity of the planting • Pruning/training systems • What genera and species (apple, pear, plum, • Thinning peach, etc.) and what varieties grow well in an area • Pest and disease control • Pollination • Sourcing quality trees • Irrigation • The planting hole and process • A fertility plan and associated fertilizers • Harvest and post-harvest All of the above factors comprise the jigsaw puzzle or the Rubik’s Cube of fruit growing. In essence, you must align all the colored cubes to induce smiles on the faces of both growers and consumers. This article focuses on the selection of genera, species, and varieties that do well in Santa Cruz County, and discusses chill hour requirements as one major criterion for successful fruit tree growing. THE RELIABLE—AND NOT SO RELIABLE What Grows Well Here By “what grows well,” I mean what produces a reliable annual crop and is relatively disease and pest free. In Santa Cruz County, that includes— • Apples • Pluots • Pears

  • 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’.

  • Environmental Assessment for Retrieval of Adrift NOAA Buoy 3DV21
    Environmental Assessment DRAFT Environmental Assessment for Retrieval of Adrift NOAA Buoy 3DV21 Prepared by: Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument Office of National Marine Sanctuaries National Ocean Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. Department of Commerce [DATE] 1 Environmental Assessment 1.0 PURPOSE AND NEED Introduction The National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) seeks access to Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM or Monument) to retrieve NOAA buoy 3DV21 and any associated chains, lines, or debris, which are currently grounded at Neva Shoal, at the earliest possible opportunity (through a federal contract opportunity). This action is necessary to retrieve NDBC property, stop further damage to PMNM resources, and remove any debris associated with the adrift buoy (including the buoy) from the ocean/Monument environment. This environmental assessment addresses recovery of a grounded data buoy, which includes retrieval of the buoy and transport to Honolulu. PMNM is one of the largest marine conservation areas in the world. Established on June 15, 2006, the Monument was created by Presidential Proclamation 8031 under the authority of the Antiquities Act (16 U.S.C. §§ 431-433). It encompasses 139,797 square miles of the Pacific Ocean (362,073 square kilometers) - an area approximately three times of the size of the main Hawaiian island chain, extending from Hawaii island to Kauai island. The area is also designated as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area under the International Maritime Authority and is a United Nations World Heritage Site. The extensive coral reefs found in the Monument are home to over 7,000 marine species, one quarter of which are found only in the Hawaiian Archipelago.
