Abstract

A new and distinct Malus domestica plant that produces apples having a pleasant aroma and sweet taste suitable for use as a table fruit.

Description

Botanical classification: Malus domestica.
Varietal denomination: ‘Rebella’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of apple tree botanically classified as Malus domestica and known by the varietal name ‘Rebella’. The new variety was discovered in 1986 in Dresden-Pillnitz. The new variety is the result of a planned breeding program between unpatented female parent ‘Golden Delicious’ and unpatented male parent ‘Remo’ (‘James Grieve’×resistant clone). The purpose of the breeding program was to find a new cultivar with high disease resistance, high yield, and excellent fruit quality. The new variety exhibits similar disease resistance to ‘Remo’, but exhibits a different growing habit, taste, color, and ripening time than ‘Remo’. The new variety exhibits a similar growing habit to ‘Golden Delicious’, but exhibits different disease resistance, taste, color, and ripening time than ‘Golden Delicious’. Table 1 illustrates the differences between ‘Rebella’ and ‘Golden Delicious’.
‘Rebella’ ‘Golden Delicious’
Fruit Color Red to reddish-yellow Yellow
Taste Sweet/acidic Sweet
Ripening Time September October
Eating Time September-November October-April
Resistance Resistant to scab, mildew, None known to breeder
fire blight, and bacterial
canker
The following characteristics distinguish the new variety from other Malus domestica varieties:
Fire blight resistance
Mildew resistance
Fruit firmness
Fruit shape
Fruit coloration
Taste
The new variety has been trial and field tested and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographic drawings illustrate the new cultivar, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type:
FIG. 1 shows the fruits of the new variety at maturity;
FIG. 2 shows a close-up view of the fruits of the new variety at maturity;
FIG. 3 shows the leaves of the new variety;
FIG. 4 shows an open blossom of the new variety;
FIG. 5 shows the flower buds of the new variety; and
FIG. 6 shows cross section of the fruits of the new variety at maturity.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions by grafting and budding first carried out in Dresden-Pillnitz in 1995. The new variety was grown in a 1.0 m by 3.5 m planting system field with typical fertilizer and no irrigation. The new variety was propagated and grown on M9 rootstock. The color readings were taken in natural daylight. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
