Abstract: The tree of this disclosure is a newly discovered and stability tested color sport of the parent variety `Cortland`, which I have named `NS-911`. The new tree is distinguished by having more highly colored fruit than that of `Cortland` and `Redcort`, a color sport from the same source, and as having less conspicuous stripes within and masked by a solid blush which covers substantially the entire surface of the fruit. The ground color of fruit skin of each variety is substantially the same, but differs in terms of degree of coverage, with ground color patches being essentially absent from the surface of the fruit of `NS-911`. The new tree is distinguished from `Lamont` in having standard bearing and tree habit.

The color is a bright red blush with small, pale green yellow dots fairly uniform thereon. It has a few-branching, spur-habit and semi-dwarfing growth habit being somewhat smaller than standard McIntosh.
