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. Feedback welcome, Tel: 0113 266 3235 (with answer phone), E-mail [email protected] Simon Clark, August 2005 References: Bultitude J. (1983) Apples. Macmillan Press, London Bunyard E.A. (1920) A Handbook of Hardy Fruits; Apples and Pears. John Murray, London Hogg R. (1884) The Fruit Manual. Journal of the Horticultural Office, London. Reprinted 2002 Langford Press, Wigtown. Sanders R. (1988) The English Apple. Phaidon, Oxford Each variety is categorised as belonging to one of eight broad groups. These groups are delineated using skin characteristics and usage i.e. whether cookers, (sour) or eaters (sweet). GROUPS GROUP 1 Green skin Non striped Rarely flushed Smooth skinned A few are white on the tree cookers; sour tasting raw, usually large e.g. Lord Derby >.........................................................................................................................G1 p.4 GROUP 2 Green skin Striped Smooth skinned Cookers; most are sour tasting raw but a few are slightly sweet, usually large e.g. Lane’s Prince Albert >.........................................................................................................................G2 p.4 - 1 - 2 GROUP 3 Golden skin Non striped Occasionally flushed A few turn white when fully ripe Mainly cookers but a few are dessert i.e. most are sour tasting raw but a few are sweet and palatable e. g. Golden Noble & Golden Spire >.........................................................................................................................G3 p.6 GROUP 4 Greenish-yellow skin Prominent stripes Some are flushed Smooth skinned Mainly dessert but a few are cookers. i..e most are sweet and palatable raw but a few are sour tasting e.g. Peasgood Nonsuch & James Grieve >.........................................................................................................................G4 p.7 GROUP 5 Continuous dark red skin Occasionally obscurely striped Smooth skinned Mainly dessert i.e most are sweet and palatable raw but a few are cookers and sour tasting raw. e.g Baumann’s Reinette & Worcester Pearmain >.........................................................................................................................G5 p.9 GROUP 6 Green skin Smooth skinned dessert i.e. sweet and palatable raw e.g Granny Smith >.......................................................................................................................G6 p.11 GROUP 7 Discontinuous red skin Discontinuously russeted skin Dessert i.e.all are sweet and palatable raw eg Cox’s Orange Pippin & Blenheim Orange >.......................................................................................................................G7 p.12 GROUP 8 Continuously russeted skin No stripes Occasional flush Dessert i.e.all are sweet and palatable raw eg Egremont Russet >.......................................................................................................................G8 p.14 Within each group, the varieties are divided according to season and shape. SEASON August Early September October Mid November December Late January V Late February onwards SHAPE “Terminal boxes” If the season and shape characters fail to produce a terminal group of four or fewer varieties,(e.g. the “reinette type” varieties in Group 8, additional characters have been used to split these groups further, to avoid having to search through a large number of descriptions to find the “correct” variety. Where the terminal group exceeds four varieties, it is extremely time consuming to work through the full descriptions of these varieties in the manuals. To reduce the size of these terminal groups and hence to minimise the number of full descriptions that have to be checked, the varieties in terminal groups containing five or more varieties have been separated, using five easily determined additional characters three of which are internal characters. To use these internal characters the fruits have to be cut in transverse section to see the two carpel characters, whilst to see the calyx cavity the basin half of the cut fruit has to be bisected, with the cut dividing the calyx cavity vertically into equal halves Because of variation within varieties you will come across specimens that have different characteristics to those given in the terminal boxes. These descriptions are not intended to be definitive but are included as a non essential aid to reducing the amount of time needed to check through the full descriptions in Bultitude. So don’t worry if a particular box is unhelpful; alter the definitions for your future use if you think this will reduce errors and/or go directly to the full descriptions in Bultitude! - 3 - 4 GROUP 1: Green skin, non striped, rarely flushed, smooth skinned, a few are white on the tree, cookers; sour tasting raw, usually large e.g. Lord Derby EARLY Flat Stirling Castle 12 Round Grenadier 183 Pott’s Seedling 271 Conical Early Victoria 152 Lord Grosvenor 230 Oblong MID Flat Ecklinville 153 Round Charles Eyre 117 Conical Lord Derby 229 Shoesmith 289 Oblong LATE Flat Broad-eyed Pippin 105 Round Dewdney’s Seedling Conical Warner’s King 308 Oblong Catshead 115 VERY LATE Flat Round Edward VII 154 Hormead Pearmain 195 Woolbrook Russet 316 French Crab 165 Conical Rhode Island Greening 277 Oblong Alfriston 73 Gloria Mundi 175 Gooseberry 179 GROUP 2: Green skin, striped, Smooth skinned, Cookers; most are sour tasting raw but a few are slightly sweet, usually large, e.g. Lane’s Prince Albert EARLY Flat Queen 272 Round George Neal 173 Conical Oblong MID Flat Round Frogmore Prolific 167 Bushey Grove 108 Cox’s Pomona 135 Conical Alexander 72 Tom Putt 303 Oblong LATE Flat Belle de Pontoise 95 Bramley’s Seedling 104 Round T. 3 Shape Lenticels Carpel Carpel Calyx spherical prominent Breadth Closure Cavity or or broad or open or funnel or polygonal obscure- narrow closed cone absent Arthur Barnes (79) spherical absent narrow closed funnel Byfleet seedling (109) polygonal prominent broad closed funnel Chelmsford wonder (120) polygonal prominent broad open funnel Cottenham seedling (132) polygonal obscure broad open cone Monarch (252) spherical obscure broad open funnel Newton Wonder (254) spherical prominent broad closed funnel Yorkshire Greening (319) polygonal absent broad open cone Conical T. 4 Shape Lenticels Carpel Carpel Calyx spherical prominent Breadth Closure Cavity or or broad or open or funnel or polygonal obscure- narrow closed cone absent Beauty of Kent polygonal prominent broad open cone Bismark (99) polygonal prominent narrow closed variable Horneburger Pfannkuchen polygonal obscure broad open cone (196) Isaac Newton’s Tree polygonal obscure broad open cone Lane’s Prince Albert (202) spherical prominent narrow open cone Lewis’s Incomparable spherical prominent broad closed cone (224) Loddington (226) polygonal prominent broad open cone Smart’s Prince Arthur polygonal prominent broad open funnel (290) Oblong VERY LATE Flat Dumelow’s Seedling 149 Ontario 263 Round Crawley Beauty 136 Striped Beefing 297 Conical Howgate Wonder 198 Northern Greening 260 Oblong - 5 - 6 Annie Elizabeth 76 Encore 157 GROUP 3: Golden skin, non striped, occasionally flushed, a few turn white when fully ripe, mainly cookers but a few are dessert i.e. most are sour tasting raw but a few are sweet and palatable, e. g.

    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.

A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of Maine in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN AGRICULTURE by FREDERICK CHARLES BRADFORD, B. S . Orono, Maine. June, 1911. 8 2 8 5 INTRODUCTION The following pages represent an effort to trace the causes of the changing procession of varieties of apples grown in Maine. To this end the history of fruit growing in Maine has been carefully studied, largely through the Agricultural Reports from 1850 to 1909 and the columns of the Maine Farmer fran 1838 to 1875. The inquiry has been confined as rigidly as possible to this state, out­ side sources being referred to only for sake of compari­ son. Rather incidentally, soil influences, modifications due to climate, etc., have been considered. Naturally* since the inquiry was limited to printed record, nothing new has been discovered in this study. Perhaps a somewhat new point of view has been achieved. And, since early Maine pomological literature has been rather neglected by our leading writers, some few forgot­ ten facts have been exhumed.

  • Fruit Varieties in Nantwich Community Orchard May 2021 Apples
    Fruit varieties in Nantwich Community Orchard May 2021 Text and photographs by Malcolm Reid The orchard was established in 2008 and now consists of forty-five trees, including twenty-six apple varieties, some of which are long-established cultivars, and a few particular to Cheshire. There are also three varieties of pear tree and three different sorts of plum tree. The information on the trees and their fruit was mainly produced using the following sources: A Guide to the Orchard and Kitchen Garden by George Lindley, edited by John Lindley, 1831 The Book of Apples by Joan Morgan and Alison Richards, 1993 The Apple Book by Rosie Sanders, 2010 The National Fruit Collection database http://www.nationalfruitcollection.org.uk/ Details from Elizabeth Falding of the fruit trees propagated by Tony Gentil All the photographs were taken in the community orchard. Apples Arthur W Barnes Culinary (cooking) apple This variety of apple tree was first cultivated in 1902 by NF Barnes and is named after his son, who was killed during the First World War. NF Barnes was the head gardener at the Duke of Westminster’s estate at Eaton Hall, near Chester. The apples are best picked in mid-September when they have turned red. They cook well, making a juicy, lemon coloured purée, with plenty of bite and flavour. Ashmead's Kernel Dessert (eating) apple Although this type of tree was first grown by Dr Ashmead, in Gloucestershire, in about 1700, it was not until the mid-19th century that it became widely planted in England. The fruits are best picked in early October when they have a yellowish-green, brown, and orange-red appearance.

  • 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.
