Abstract

The new and distinct cultivar of apple tree originated as a limb mutation of the `Imperial Gala` variety. The fruit of this cultivar is distinguished by its early coloring, full deep rich red coloration, and distinctive strong red striping that covers the entire fruit.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to apple trees and more specifically to a new and distinct variety of apple tree which has a fruit that has an early bright red color and distinctive red striping that covers the entire fruit.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new variety of apple is of the Gala-type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This new variety, which is a mutation of the Imperial Gala variety, was found as a limb mutation among trees growing at Peace Valley Orchard in Rogers, Ohio. We were attracted to the new variety because of the early and much brighter red color and distinctive red striping that covers the entire fruit. The new variety has been asexually reproduced by budding at Peace Valley Orchards, Rogers, Ohio. The first generation was budded on Aug. 20, 1994. Asexual propagation shows that the unique combination of characteristics and distinctive color come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The fruit of the apple tree of the new variety exhibits an attractive appearance and, unlike the parent variety, possesses an overall full deep rich red color with a strong stripe. This coloration and striping is present over the entire surface of the fruit and develops at least 21 days earlier than the parent. This new variety has been named the `Simmons Gala` variety.
The new variety can be distinguished from the `Gale Gala` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,114) by the absence of any red coloration on the leaf midvein. The `Gale Gala` cultivar exhibits red color on almost the entire length of the leaf's midvein while the new variety is completely green. The new variety can also be distinguished from the `Gale Gala` cultivar by the differences in flower petal formation. The new variety has large, ruffled, almost white petals with little pink coloration. The `Gale Gala` has smaller, unruffled petals with much more pink coloration.
The new cultivar of the present invention can be distinguished from other cultivars of Gala-type apple trees such as the Kidd's D-8 cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,637), the Waliser cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,673), the Kiddle cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,955), the Obragala cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,621), the Creech cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,172), the Tenroy cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,121), the Cooper cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,396) and the Olsentwo cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,681) in view of the combination of characteristics discussed herein. The new variety can be distinguished from the Kidd's D-8 cultivar by the striping and high percentage of color on the new variety. The new variety also develops significant fruit color 21 days before Kidd's D-8. The new variety can be compared to and distinguished from its parent, `Imperial Gala`, as while both cultivars show a higher percentage of red coloration and striped pattern on the fruits than `Kidd's D-8`, the new variety has much higher coloration of the fruit, and shows significant fruit color 21 days earlier than does `Imperial Gala`.
The new variety can be distinguished from the Tenroy cultivar by the percentage of striping on its fruits. The new variety exhibits bright, prominent red striping in 100% of ripened fruits while the ripened fruits of the Tenroy cultivar exhibits "striping in some fruit". The new variety develops significant fruit color 21 days before the Tenroy cultivar.
The new variety can be distinguished from the Waliser cultivar by the size of the stripes. The new variety exhibits a broad, bright red striping pattern while the Waliser cultivar exhibits a "pinstriping" pattern. The new variety develops significant fruit color 11 days before the Waliser cultivar.
The new variety can be distinguished from the Obragala cultivar by the type of coloration of the fruits. The new variety has a strong, distinctive, bright red stripe while the Obragala cultivar has a blush coloration. The new variety also develops significant fruit color 11 days before the Obragala cultivar and ripens two to four days later.
The new variety can be distinguished from the Creech cultivar by its ripening date which is 10 days later and by the new variety's development of significant fruit color 21 days before the Creech cultivar. The new variety exhibits a striped pattern of fruit coloration while the Creech cultivar is a blush.
The new variety can be distinguished from the Kiddle cultivar by the prominence of the stripe on the fruits. The new variety exhibits a very prominent, all over striping pattern while the Kiddle cultivar exhibits an "indistinct stripe" pattern on its fruits. The new variety develops significant fruit color 19 days before the Kiddle cultivar.
The new variety can be distinguished from the Olsentwo cultivar by the timing of color development. The new variety develops significant fruit color 11 days before the Olsentwo cultivar.
The new variety can be distinguished from the Cooper cultivar by the absence of a compact spurring tendency. The new variety also develops significant fruit color 19 days before the Cooper cultivar.
A search for fruiting examples of the Applewaites cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,720) in the United States proved unsuccessful. A comparison of the patent shows that the new variety differs from Applewaites by the presence of a stripe and the development of significant fruit color approximately 19 days before Applewaites.
Development of early, significant coloration of the fruits is a very desirable commercial attribute for a new apple variety. This allows the grower to harvest the fruit at the optimum time for handling, shipping and storage without having to wait for marketable color to develop. The color development of the new variety distinguishes it from all other previously patented Gala cultivars. The new variety develops significant fruit color from 10 to 21 days earlier than the other cultivars as shown in the chart below. This color development occurs first as a striping pattern and fills in rapidly to a 90 to 100% soft red color, quickly changing to a full, bright red while the fruits of other varieties are greenish yellow with a pink cheek.
This data was obtained from grower comparisons of the previously mentioned Gala varieties in the States of Michigan, Ohio and Washington. While harvest times differ in these sites, the timing of the onset of coloration in comparison to the harvest date is comparable. The determination of commercial maturity as referred to in this application is the determination by the grower through experience, color development, and starch and sugar content that the particular cultivar is mature for picking. The comparative color development of various Gala varieties is shown schematically in the following chart:
