Abstract: A new and distinct variety of MacIntosh apple tree, ‘Bull MacIntosh,’ originating as a whole tree mutation of the Malus sylvestris variety of ‘Starling’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,617). This new variety is unique from its parent and other MacIntosh cultivars because the fruit begins coloring 35 days earlier than the parent and 45 days earlier than other MacIntosh cultivars. The new variety ripens to a 100% red blush as opposed to its parent, which ripens to a red striped coloration. The ‘Bull MacIntosh’ cultivar reaches maturity with the ‘Starling’ cultivar and 10 to 15 days ahead of other MacIntosh clones.

Abstract: A new and distinct apple tree named ‘GUN-300’ is disclosed. The fruit of ‘GUN-300’ is notable for its even, early coloring and firm flesh.
