    A Manual Key for the Identification of Apples Based on the Descriptions in Bultitude (1983)

    A MANUAL KEY FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF APPLES BASED ON THE DESCRIPTIONS IN BULTITUDE (1983) Simon Clark of Northern Fruit Group and National Orchard Forum, with assistance from Quentin Cleal (NOF). This key is not definitive and is intended to enable the user to “home in” rapidly on likely varieties which should then be confirmed in one or more of the manuals that contain detailed descriptions e.g. Bunyard, Bultitude , Hogg or Sanders . The varieties in this key comprise Bultitude’s list together with some widely grown cultivars developed since Bultitude produced his book. The page numbers of Bultitude’s descriptions are included. The National Fruit Collection at Brogdale are preparing a list of “recent” varieties not included in Bultitude(1983) but which are likely to be encountered. This list should be available by late August. As soon as I receive it I will let you have copy. I will tabulate the characters of the varieties so that you can easily “slot them in to” the key.

    Personnel Were Contacted at Apple Research Centers Throughout the World and Asked About CA Storage Conditions Employed in Their Area Or Country

    -395- CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE CONDITIONS FOR SOME OF THE MORE COMMONLY GROWN APPLE CULTIVARS M. Meheriuk Agriculture Canada Research Station Summerland, British Columbia VOH 1Z0 Canada This paper will attempt to outline controlled atmosphere (CA) conditions suitable for some of the predominant apple cultivars. Storage personnel were contacted at apple research centers throughout the world and asked about CA storage conditions employed in their area or country. The information received from these individuals as well as that from the literature was used in establishing storage conditions suitable for specific apple cultivars. Also included on the information sheets are the benefits and disadvantages in altering the concentrations of C02 and 02, the problems encountered when injurious levels of either gas are used, and the commercial use of reduced 02 or increased C02 in the storage atmosphere. Somewhat different from that found in other areas was the use of unscrubbed atmospheres and higher storage temperatures in European storage facilities. An unscrubbed atmosphere is one in which the C02 content is controlled (5-10%) but not the 02 level. Higher C02 levels are known to have an inhibitory effect on softening. The higher storage temperatures may reflect higher energy costs in European countries but it has also been suggested that they permit higher C02 levels in the storage atmosphere. Perhaps another reason for higher storage temperatures is a lower incidence of internal disorders prevalent in many of the European grown apples. A trend towards lower oxygen 02 levels has taken place in the past few years. Many countries now recommend 2% 02 to improve firmness retention and reduce development of physiological disorders.

Alspach The Horticulture and Food Research Institute of New Zealand Ltd, Riwaka Research Center, Motueka, New Zealand Additional index words. breeding, genetic diversity, Malus ×domestica Abstract. Pedigrees of apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.) cultivars were used to study worldwide genetic diversity among clones used in modern apple breeding. The most frequent founding clones were ‘Cox’s Orange Pippin’, ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Red Delicious’, ‘Jonathan’, and ‘McIntosh’. Coefficients of coancestry between 50 mainstream cultivars and these clones averaged 0.03, 0.12, 0.07, 0.06, and 0.02, respectively, but they were frequently as high as 0.25 with certain pairings. Among a group of 27 cultivars carrying the Vf gene for scab resistance, coefficients of coancestry with the five founding clones were of the same order. Although few of the cultivars sampled were substantially inbred, inbreeding could reach serious levels in their future offspring if current breeding practices are continued. The status effective number was 8 for the mainstream group and 7 for the Vf-carrier clones. This indicates clearly that apple breeders are operating with a population of greatly reduced genetic diversity. Careful consideration of pedigrees and increased size of the genetic base are needed in future apple breeding strategies.

    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.

  • Apple Fruiting

    Apple Fruiting

    Apple Fruiting ________________________________________________________________________ Spur and Semi-spur Apple Varieties – Over 1000 spur and semi-spur varieties listed. Apple trees that have fruit on spurs or semi-spurs are more dwarfing. They also require special pruning techniques. Tip and Partial-tip Apple Varieties – Over 350 varieties listed. Fruit are borne on the tip of the branches, and are weeping and require little to no pruning. ________________________________________________________________________ Apple Fruiting 1 12/8/06 SPUR-TYPE FRUITING APPLES FOR THE HOME ORCHARD For home orchardists there are several advantages in growing spur–type trees. As the name indicates, the fruit is borne on spurs. Spurs are slow growing leafy shoots and have a mixed terminal bud. A mixed terminal bud will produce shoot and flowers. In apples, spurs develop on two–year old shoots from axillary buds located at the base of each leaf. Axillary buds on a spur can give rise to shoots or new spurs. A branched spur system forms after several years when new spur form on old spurs. Spur–type strains are more dwarfing than the standard stain. When spur and standard strains were compared in Washington rootstock trials, the spurs were 25% smaller than standard stains. Spur–type apples have a growing and fruiting characteristic in which lateral (axillary) buds on two year old wood gives rise to a higher portion of spurs and fewer lateral shoots than occur with standard growth habits. This gives the tree a more open canopy and compact growth habit than standard trees. Research indicates that they have approximately half the canopy volume of standard strains.

    Response of Several Apple Varieties to Apple Scab

    ORIGINAL ARTICLE RESPONSE OF SEVERAL APPLE VARIETIES TO APPLE SCAB (VENTURIA INAEQUALIS) ATTACK IN CENTRAL TRANSYLVANIA CONDITIONS COMPORTAREA UNOR SOIURI DE MĂR LA ATACUL DE RAPĂN (VENTURIA INAEQUALIS), ÎN CONDIŢIILE DIN CENTRUL TRANSILVANIEI SESTRAŞ R. REZUMAT La Staţiunea de Cercetare Dezvoltare pentru Pomicultură Cluj-Napoca, România, a fost studiată comportarea unor soiuri de măr la atacul de rapăn − Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint. Au fost analizate în acest scop 75 de soiuri, privind intensitatea, frecvenţa şi gradul de atac pe frunze şi fructe, într-o perioadă de şapte ani (1990- 1996). Dintre cele 75 de soiuri, 38 au fost înregistrate cu diferite nivele de atac, cele mai sensibile dovedindu- se cultivarurile de origine japoneză (ex. Fuji Aki-fu, Nebuta, Sekai ichi). În unii ani, în funcţie şi de condiţiile climatice, au fost puternic atacate, îndeosebi pe fructe, şi soiuri cunoscute şi răspândite în cultură, cum sunt: Kaltherer Böhmer, Starkrimson, Red Delicious, Mutzu, Wellspur, Jersey Mac. Din totalul soiurilor studiate, 31 (reprezentând 41,3%) nu au fost atacate de rapăn, nici pe frunze şi nici pe lăstari, printre acestea situându- se şi soiurile cu rezistenţă genetică la rapăn Prima, Priscilla, Sir Prize, Liberty, Florina, Priam, Pionier, Voinea, Generos. ABSTRACT Among 75 varieties of apple, verified at the Fruit Research Station in Cluj-Napoca, Central Transylvania, Romania, during seven years (between 1990-1996), 38 registered with certain attack degree with apple scab on leaves and fruits. Susceptible on apple scab – Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint. – were the varieties with Japanese origin (i.e. Fuji Aki-fu, Nebuta, Sekai ichi), and in certain years even well known cultivars, as Kaltherer Böhmer, Starkrimson, Red Delicious, Mutzu, Wellspur, Jersey Mac which were strongly infected, especially on leaves.
