Abstract: A new and distinct apple variety is described. The variety results from selection among a population of seedlings derived from crossing the apple varieties known as ‘Braeburn’ (not patented) and ‘Royal Gala’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,121). The fruit of the apple tree of this new variety has an attractive appearance characterised by its striped colour pattern and is notable for its excellent eating quality post-storage. The new variety matures for harvest between the parent varieties and has been named ‘Scifresh’.
