Abstract

A new apple variety distinguished by good storage ability, good to excellent dessert quality, and a resistance to apple scab, cedar rust, and fireblight, with a moderate resistance to powdery mildew.

Description

LATIN NAME OF THE GENUS AND SPECIES OF THE PLANT CLAIMED
Malus×domestica.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Co-op 29’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of apple tree narned ‘Co-op 29’. Our new tree resulted from a planned hybridization program and is a selection from crossing ‘Golden Delicious’ (unpatented) as the seed parent with ‘1050 NJI’, an unpatented apple tree, as the pollen parent. The resulting tree was selected when growing in a cultivated area in West Lafayette, Ind.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The ‘Co-op 29’ variety is distinguished from other apple varieties due to the following unique combination of characteristics: resistance to apple scab; resistance to cedar rust and fireblight; moderately resistant to powdery mildew; good storage ability (can be stored up to seven months at 34° F.); and good to excellent dessert quality.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by grafting and budding onto rootstock [‘Malling 7’ (unpatented) and ‘Malling Merton 111’ (unpatented) rootstocks] shows that the foregoing characteristics come true to form, are firmly fixed, and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The following detailed description concerns the original tree, discovered in 1972, and progeny first asexually propagated in 1979. The original tree and progeny have been observed growing in a cultivated area in West Lafayette, Ind. Certain characteristics of this variety, such as growth and color, may change with changing environmental conditions (e.g., light, temperature, moisture, nutrient availability, or other factors). Color descriptions and other terminology are used in accordance with their ordinary dictionary descriptions, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Color designations are made with reference to The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S.) Colour Chart.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying photograph shows typical fruit and leaf specimens of this new variety.
The colors of an illustration of this type may vary with lighting and other conditions under which conditions and, therefore, color characteristics of this new variety should be determined with reference to the observations described herein, rather than from these illustrations alone.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following detailed description of the ‘Co-op 29’ variety is based on observations of asexually reproduced progeny. The observed progeny are trees which were 13 years of age and growing on ‘Malling Merton 111’ rootstock in West Lafayette, Ind.
