Abstract: A new and distinct variety of apple tree named `Pinova` is provided. `Pinova` is a dwarf apple variety that withstands both winter and spring frosts (i.e., a winter cultivar), with fruit of dessert quality with a smooth skin finish (little or no russeting), displays higher productivity on average than `Golden Delicious` and no alternate bearing, and has less storage loss than `Golden Delicious`. `Pinova` is a high-quality cultivar that complements `Golden Delicious` in the market until June.
