Abstract
A new apple tree named ‘Daligris’ is disclosed. The fruit of the new variety is particularly notable for its eating quality and distinctive flavor and appearance. The fruit is very sweet and has a pronounced aniseed flavor, and takes on a distinctive red orange coloration as it ripens on the tree.
Description
Latin name: Malus domestica Borkh.
Variety denomination: ‘Daligris’.
None.

None.
‘Daligris’ is a new and distinct cultivar of apple tree Malus domestica Borkh. ‘Daligris’ is a whole tree mutation of the apple variety ‘Pinova’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,601). The original whole tree mutation was discovered during the 1998 harvest in a commercial block of ‘Pinova’ trees near Lezigne-France, planted on M9 rootstocks in 1997. It was first asexually propagated in March 2000 for testing purposes by grafting under the breeder's reference number DDR14-51 at Doue la Fontaine, France. ‘Daligris’ was propagated for further experimentation in 2002.
The asexually propagated progeny of ‘Daligris’ has consistently been found to be homogeneous and stable, retaining the unique characteristics of the original ‘Daligris’ tree and fruit, and has remained true to type over successive asexually propagated generations. Plant Variety Rights have been applied for ‘Daligris’ in the European Union in 2006 under the application number 2006/1697.
Trees of ‘Daligris’ have been virus tested, and have been found to be free from the most common apple viruses in Europe (stem pitting, stem grooving, rubbery wood, proliferation, spy decline, chlorotic leaf spot, russet ring, star crack, russet wart, mosaic). Virus free certified material will be available in 2009.
‘Daligris’ is quite similar to ‘Pinova’ with respect to tree behavior, flowers, and leaves. However, the fruit of ‘Daligris’ is notably distinct from ‘Pinova,’ and from ‘Dalinip’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,482), ‘Dalirail’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,483), and ROHO 3615(U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,672), each of which is also a mutation of ‘Pinova’.

The tree of ‘Daligris’ is a bit more dwarf than ‘Pinova’. The branches, leaves and flowers of ‘Daligris’ are similar to ‘Pinova’. The bloom is also similar to ‘Pinova’ in terms of bloom date range and intensity. Like its parent ‘Pinova’, ‘Daligris’ is very precocious and does not tend to alternate bearing. Productivity is comparable to ‘Pinova’.
‘Daligris’ is very similar to ‘Pinova’ in term of fruit shape and size. Harvest of ‘Daligris’ has been observed to begin approximately one week later than ‘Pinova’. The storageability of ‘Daligris’ is very similar to ‘Pinova’.
The fruit of ‘Daligris’ is very distinctive from ‘Pinova’ in appearance:
-
- it is partially covered with a smooth light brown to yellow russeting which fully covers the stem cavity and then spreads out on the cheeks of the fruit;
- the lenticels are much larger and much more prominent than on ‘Pinova’. They are russeted and bumpy; and
- ‘Daligris’ has a typical red-orange over-color, as distinguished from the red-pink over-color of ‘Pinova’.
‘Daligris’ also has a consistent distinctive eating quality:
-
- Quantitative analyses (as presented in the table below) show that ‘Daligris’ consistently has a higher sugar content than ‘Pinova’; and
- ‘Daligris’ has a pronounced aniseed flavor which, combined with the high sugar level, gives a unique taste to the variety.
