Resistant to scab. The fruit is big, larger than Gala, with a regular, rounded, slightly flattened shape. Less subject to cracking then Gala. Yellowish-green ground colour with striped red overcolour. The flesh is creamy, fine, crispy and juicy. The flavour is good, very sweet, similar to Galaxy but with a more intense aroma. Storage life comparable to Galaxy.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Malus domestica Mill.
Variety denomination: ‘GAIA’.
This application claims priority to European Community Plant Variety Office Application No. 2011/1879, filed Jul. 26, 2011.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of apple tree, botanically known as Malus domestica Mill. of the Family Rosaceae, and hereinafter referred to by the variety denomination ‘Gaia’.
The new Malus variety is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventors, Michelangelo Leis, Alessio Martinelli, Gianfranco Castagnoli and Francesco Tagliani in S. Giuseppe di Comacchio (Ferrara), Italy. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new Malus varieties with improved production characteristics, high-quality flavour and aroma, and sustainability by increasing the tree's natural resistance. The primary objective of the research programme is to selection new apple varieties with natural resistances, in particular to scab.
The new Malus variety, ‘Gaia’, originated from a cross made in a planned, controlled breeding program in S. Giuseppe di Comacchio (Ferrara), Italy. The female parent is ‘Gala’ variety (unpatented). The male parent is an unpatented proprietary selection denominated ‘A3-7’. ‘Gaia’ was discovered and selected in August 2004 by the inventors as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in S. Giuseppe di Comacchio (Ferrara), Italy.
Asexual reproduction of the new Malus variety by budding and grafting was first performed in September 2004 and in the following years in S. Giuseppe di Comacchio (Ferrara), Italy, and has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new Malus variety are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction. The new variety reproduces true to type.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be unique characteristics of ‘Gaia’ which in combination distinguish this apple tree as a new and distinct variety:
-
- 1. Slightly flattened shape;
- 2. Intense striped red overcolour;
- 3. Scab resistance;
- 4. Medium vigor, open habit with short branches;
- 5. Good flavor, very sweet with intense aroma and
- 6. Good storage ability.
Of the commercial cultivars known to the inventors, the most similar in comparison to ‘Gaia’ is the variety ‘Galaxy’ (Patented, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,955). In comparison to the similar variety ‘Galaxy’, ‘Gaia’ differs primarily in the traits listed in Table 1:
TABLE 1 |
Comparison with Similar Variety |
Denomination | Characteristic in | State of | State of |
of similar | which the similar | expression of | expression of |

Galaxy | General shape | conic | regular, rounded, |
slightly flattened. | |||
Relative area of over | Medium | Large | |

Resistance to disease | No | Scab resistant | |
When the current variety ‘Gaia’ is compared to the parent varieties ‘Gala’ and ‘A3-7’, the varieties differ in the characteristics presented in Table 2:
TABLE 2 |
Comparison with Parent Varieties |
Characteristic in | State of | The female | The male |
which the | expression of | parent | parent |
variety is different | candidate variety | (‘Gala’) | (‘A3-7’) |

weakly defined | weakly defined | ||

Fruit shape | Rounded, | Conic | Short-conic to |

The current variety ‘Gaia’ can also be meaningfully compared to the variety ‘Gemini’ (Patented, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,091) as they share the same parent varieties (‘Gala’ and ‘A3-7’). The varieties ‘Gaia’ and ‘Gemini’ differ in the characteristics presented in Table 3:

which the variety is | State of expression | expression |

The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new apple tree ‘Gaia’ showing the colors as true as is reasonably possible with color reproductions of this type. Color in the photographs may differ slightly from the color value cited in the detailed botanical description, which accurately describe the color of ‘Gaia’.
The new Malus variety ‘Gaia’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype of the new variety may vary with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and day length without any change in the genotype of the plant.
The aforementioned photographs, together with the following observations, measurements and values describe the new Malus variety ‘Gaia’ as grown in the apple farm in S. Giuseppe di Comacchio (Ferrara), Italy, under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice. The apple farm where ‘Gaia’ is grown is situated near the Adriatic sea (44°45′ North, 12° 11′ East) and is zero (0) meters above sea level. The soil of the apple farm where ‘Gaia’ is grown is sandy, and the soil is treated with manure every year and irrigated with drip irrigation systems. The climate is temperate continental with high summer temperatures and low winter temperatures.
Unless otherwise stated, the detailed botanical description includes observations, measurements and values based on four (4) year old ‘Gaia’ trees that were grown in the apple farm in S. Giuseppe di Comacchio (Ferrara), Italy, from 2007 to 2010 All trees were of cropping maturity. Quantified measurements are expressed as an average of measurements taken from a number of individual trees of ‘Gaia’. The measurements of any individual tree, or any group of trees, of the new variety may vary from the stated average.
Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.), first publication (1966), except where general colors of ordinary significance are used. Color values were taken under daylight conditions at approximately at 10:00 am in S. Giuseppe di Comacchio (Ferrara), Italy.
