Abstract
A new and distinct apple tree is disclosed. ‘Candy,’ a limb sport of ‘Aztec,’ is notable for its distinctive fruit, which exhibits a 95%-100% intense red coloration, with striping present.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Malus domestica.
Variety denomination: ‘CANDY’.
The new cultivar ‘Candy’ originated as a limb sport mutation of ‘Aztec’ Fuji (not patented). It was discovered by the inventor in a cultivated orchard at Upper Moutere, Nelson, New Zealand. ‘Candy’ was asexually propagated by grafting at Upper Moutere, Nelson, New Zealand, and has been shown to remain true to type over successive generations.
‘Candy’ is distinguishable from its parent and from other known Fuji-type varieties by its distinctive coloration, as noted in Table 1 below:
TABLE 1 | |||
Variety | Coloration | ||
‘Candy’ | 95%-100% solid red flush with fine red | ||
on green stripe over 60%-70% of fruit | |||
on unexposed side. Fine red stripe over | |||
blush red background on exposed side | |||
‘Fuji 1/1’ (not | Generally striped with 30%-40% red | ||
patented) | blush on exposed side | ||
‘Aztec Fuji’ | 95%-100% solid red flush | ||
The following detailed botanical description is based on observations made during the 2005/2006 growing season at Upper Moutere, Nelson, New Zealand of five year old trees of the variety grown on MM106 rootstock. All colors are described according to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. It should be understood that the characteristics described will vary somewhat depending upon cultural practices and climatic conditions, and can vary with location and season. Quantified measurements are expressed as an average of measurements taken from a number of individual plants of the new variety. The measurements of any individual plant, or any group of plants, the new variety may vary from the stated average.
