  • Publication number: 20020002717
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apple tree which can be used as an apple dwarfing rootstock. The apple rootstock is capable of reproduction from hardwood cuttings, exhibits excellent disease and insect resistance, particularly against crown rot, Alternaria blotch, scab and woolly apple aphid, has dwarfing capability and good graft compatibility, exhibits satisfactory growth and grows to a size usable as a rootstock in one season after cuttings, and is therefore excellent as an apple dwarfing rootstock. The apple rootstock tree bears small size fruit, having a oblate shape and reddish yellow colored skin.

  • Patent number: PP8440
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apple tree having a strong vigor, long and narrow leaves, and bearing a slightly small fruit maturing earlier than "Tsugaru". The fruit has a conical to rounded-conical shape, and a deep red to deep reddish orange (ISCC - NBS) skin. The flesh of the fruit is yellowish (ISCC - NBS) white, juicy and has a moderate texture, and further, has a moderate sweet and sour taste. The fruit of the present apple trees ripen for eating and can be picked earlier than other early maturing varieties, thereby providing the fruit with an excellent market value, in particular, in mid-summer.
