It was discovered in October of 1980 at West Lafayette, Ind., in the course of an attempt to develop improved apple cultivars with high fruit quality and resistance to Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint., the causal agent of the scab disease of apple. The tree is a seedling of known parentage planted in May of 1973 in the HE Block of the apple breeding orchard on the Hinsley tract of the Purdue Horticulture Research Farm, West Lafayette, Ind. In the above mentioned block, its position was Row 4, Tree 16, having the designation PRI 2750-6 in the breeding records.

  • Patent number: PP9881
    Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct cultivar of apple tree (Malus Xdomestica Borkh). It was discovered in the course of an attempt to develop improved apple cultivars with high fruit quality and resistance to Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint., the casual agent of the scab disease of apple. The tree is a seedling of known parentage planted in Apr. 15,1975 in the HF Block of an apple breeding orchard on the Hinsley tract of the Purdue Horticulture Research Farm, West Lafayette, Ind., in row 34. Because the trees in this row were spaced very closely its tree number was not recorded. When selected it had the designation PRI 2946-1 in the breeding records and was tested under the designations HFRow 34 and Co-op 32.

  • Patent number: PP10276
    Abstract: The new cultivar was formed through the crossing of the `Golden Delicious` and `Grifer` apple cultivars. Attractive yellow fruit commonly having an orange blush or overcolor extending over a potion of the skin is formed that is ready for harvest mid to late in the season. The extent of the overcolor on the mature fruit is influenced by the position of the fruit on the tree and the level of sunlight that is encountered during ripening. The fruit is excellent in flavor and texture. The fruit flesh well resists darkening upon exposure to ambient conditions. Additionally, attractive medium green foliage having an acuminate apex and a rounded base is formed.
