Abstract
Apple tree ‘DudeK’ (Malus domestica) is a limb sport mutation of ‘Caudle’ (PP9,068). The fruit of ‘DudeK’ is notable for its attractive, intensely colored skin.
Description
Genus and species: Malus domestica.
Variety denomination: ‘Dudek’.
The new variety named ‘DudeK’ is a limb mutation from a tree of the ‘Caudle’ apple variety (P#9068) on M-7 rootstock planted in my orchard at East Wenatchee, Wash. in 1994. I discovered ‘DudeK’ as a mutated limb, which was distinguished from other limbs on the tree by its more intensely colored fruit, in September 1998. Upon discovery I took buds of ‘Dudek’ and top-budded two additional trees on M-7 in the same orchard block. In December of 1999 I grafted buds from the second-generation branches of ‘DudeK’ onto fourteen five-year-old ‘Caudle’ trees that were growing on M-7. In August 2001 I budded thirteen M-7 rootstocks with ‘Dudek’ buds taken from third generation trees in my nursery, and I planted the resulting trees in my orchard in the spring of 2003. All of these trees have fruited, and they consistently carry the early and intense coloring characteristics of the mutation through three generations.
The new variety is compared to the parent tree, ‘Caudle’ variety (PP#9068). It is similar in all respects to the ‘Caudle’ apple except in the development of red skin color. The drawings and data presented clearly document this difference.
The colors of this illustration may vary with lighting 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.
The following detailed description of the characteristics of ‘Dudek’, a limb sport mutation of the ‘Caudle’ variety, is based on observations at East Wenatchee during the 2006 and 2007 growing seasons of trees planted in 2003. The observed tree, limb, and leaf characteristics of the new variety are essentially identical to the parent ‘Caudle’ variety. All color descriptions by number citations herein (hue/value/chroma) refer to the Munsell Book of Color, Kollmorgen Instruments Corp., 405 Little Britain Road, New Windsor, N.Y. 12553. Certain characteristics of this variety may change with changing environmental conditions (e.g., light, temperature, moisture), nutrient availability, or other factors. 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, of the new variety may vary from the stated average.
