    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.

  • — 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. .

  • Apple Breeding: a Study of Jonathan Crosses
    J une, 1928 Research Bulletin No. 116 A.pple Breeding: A Study of Jonathan Crosses By H. L . LANTZ AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION IOWA STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND MECHANIC ARTS C. F. CURTISS, Director POMOLOGY SECTION AMES, IOWA SUMMARY Two hundred seventy-three Jonathan seedlings produced by 11 crosses form the basis of the records in this bulletin. These studies show clearly that the progenies produced by the different crosses of Jonathan differ or vary in many important char­ acteristics. These variations are attributed to differences in the genetic constitution of the Eeveral varieties which were used in combination with Jonathan, and indicate the relative value of these varieties as parents when crossed with Jonathan. The range of variation in the seedlings of these progenies is gen­ erally quite wide both as to tree and fruit. Differences in the horti­ cultural characteristics such as occur in size, form, color, flavor, quality and season of the seedling fruits suggest that multiple fac­ tors are concerned, which produce the many variations observed. Jonathan appears to carry as partially dominant factors for medi­ um and below medium size of fruit, but it evidently carries factors also for large and for small size. Factors for roundish, conic, ob­ late and oblong fruit forms are present. Jonathan appears to be homozygous for red skin color but is heterozygous for pattern and carries factors for both fine and coarse grained flesh, for juiciness, for both acid and sweet flavor and for very good as well as for poor quality. The factors which control the season of the fruit are evi­ dently complex.

  • Investigation of Wild Species Potential to Increase Genetic Diversity Useful for Apple Breeding
    UDC 575.630 DOI: 10.2298/GENSR1503993D Original scientific paper INVESTIGATION OF WILD SPECIES POTENTIAL TO INCREASE GENETIC DIVERSITY USEFUL FOR APPLE BREEDING Catalina DAN1, Adriana F. SESTRAS1,*, Calin BOZDOG1,2, Radu E. SESTRAS1 1University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Cluj-Napoca, Romania 2Fruit Research Station, Cluj-Napoca, Romania Dan C., A. F. Sestras, C. Bozdog, R.E. Sestras (2015): Investigation of wild species potential to increase genetic diversity useful for apple breeding - Genetika, Vol 47, No. 3, 993-1011. The potential of testing new apple cultivars and the possibility to induce valuable traits is directly dependent on the availability of sufficient genetic diversity, while apple breeding has narrowed the genetic ground of commercial cultivars. Wild species were studied in regard to their influence upon progenies and their capacity to enlarge apple genetic diversity. The interspecific seedlings were framed in five biparental mating (paired crosses), in which Malus species were crossed with different cultivars, obtaining half-sib families. The number of F1 progenies per combination varied from 31 (Cluj 218/2 × M. floribunda) up to 142 (Reinette Baumann × M. floribunda), with a total of 1650 hybrids F1. The influences upon vigour and juvenile period and possible correlation among fruit size and taste were analyzed. Juvenile period varied from 6.00 (M. zumi × Jonathan) to 9.31 years (Cluj 218/2 × M. floribunda). Data based on correlation coefficient illustrated that the fructification year was not influenced by the vigour of trees. The highest value of correlation for fruit’s size and taste was obtained among M. coronaria hybrids. This result might suggest that once the fruit are larger, there is a high chance the taste is also more appreciative and fruit quality for mouth feels increase.

  • 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.
