    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.

  • Assessment of Apple Cultivars for Organic Fruit Growing
    Agronomy Research 7(Special issue I), 363–368, 2009 Assessment of apple cultivars for organic fruit cultivation J. Lanauskas, A.Valiuškaitė, N. Kviklienė, A. Sasnauskas and N. Uselis Lithuania, Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture, Orchard management department, Kauno 30, LT-54333 Babtai, Kaunas distr., Lithuania; e-mail [email protected] Abstract. In 2005–2008 apple tree cultivars and selections were tested at the Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture in an organic apple tree orchard. Apple trees on rootstock B.396 were spaced at distances of 4 x 2 m; the orchard floor was a cultivated soil. The bioinsecticide Bioshower against aphids was applied once a year, fungicides were not used. Apple trees of cultivars. ‘Pilot’ and ‘Pinova’ were significantly affected by apple scab (Venturia inaequalis Cke. Wint), and ‘Lodel’ – by apple powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha (Ellis et Everh.) Salm). Apple trees of the cultivar. ‘Aldas’ and selection 18501 were the most vigorous. In 2007– 2008 the greatest average yield was from the cultivars ‘Florina’, ‘Rosana’, selections 20,490 and 22,1709.1–14.7 t ha-1. These same cultivars and selections were the most yield efficient. The greatest average fruit weight was from cultivar. ‘Witos’ (272 g), the smallest from the cultivars ‘Pilot’, ‘Pinova’, ‘Goldrush’ and ‘Lodel’ (111–137 g). The highest taste score was from ‘Goldstar’, ‘Rubinola’, ‘Topaz’, ‘Rajka’ and ‘Lodel’ apples. Key words: apple scab, yield, fruit weight, taste INTRODUCTION Technological progress in agriculture and related branches of industry has resulted in an increase in agricultural production. Highlydeveloped countries produce more food than they consume themselves. People concerned about their health have begun to seek more healthy products.

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.

Many aspects of apple production are the same whether the grower uses low-spray, organic, Agriculture Specialists or conventional management. Accordingly, this publication focuses on the aspects that differ from Published nonorganic practices—primarily pest and disease control, marketing, and economics. (Information on March 2011 organic weed control and fertility management in orchards is presented in a separate ATTRA publica- © NCAT tion, Tree Fruits: Organic Production Overview.) This publication introduces the major apple insect pests IP020 and diseases and the most effective organic management methods. It also includes farmer profiles of working orchards and a section dealing with economic and marketing considerations.

The census provides an important overview of apple production, and comparisons are made to previous censuses (2007, 2002 and 1997) where possible. The census surveyed all commercial orchards, defined as follows: - a production area of at least 0.2 hectares of apples, including cider apples - the fruit from the orchard is sold every year - the orchard is sprayed against pests/diseases every year, or maintained to organic standards Within the 45 growers, there are two organic growers. Production areas are based on areas planted up to March 2012.

  • 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.

  • 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.

These groups are delineated using skin characteristics and usage i.e. whether cookers, (sour) or eaters (sweet).
