Abstract: Disclosed is an apple tree having a moderate vigor and a good spur-bearing habit and producing a medium size fruit maturing early in the season and earlier than `Tsugaru`. The fruit has an oval shape and a conspicuous appearance caused by a relief of dense and large dots against a solid deep red colored surface, which overlays a yellowish green ground color skin, when not bagged. The flesh of the fruit is yellowish white, moderately juicy, crisp, and hard, and has a moderate sweetness, a relatively strong acidity, and an aromatic flavor, which give a good sweet-acid balance and an excellent dessert quality. The keeping quality of the fruit is superior as a cultivar maturing earlier than `Tsugaru`.
