Abstract
Malus domestica Borkh ‘Gala Schnico Red’ variety is distinguished by a unique combination of characteristics including an intensive red overcolor covering 100% of the fruit skin and a 30% higher number of lenticels per unit area on the fruit skin.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: The Latin name of the genus and species of the plant variety disclosed herein is Malus domestica Borkh.
Variety denomination: The inventive cultivar of Malus domestica Borkh disclosed herein has been given the varietal denomination ‘Gala Schnico Red’.
This application claims priority under 35 U.S. §119(a) to European Union Community Plant Variety Breeder's Rights Application No. 2013/1524, filed Jun. 6, 2013; the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Gala variety of apple trees named ‘Gala Schnico Red’. The new variety was discovered as a mutation on a Gala plant cultivar ‘Schnitzer Schniga’ in a cultivated field at 30904 Nals (BZ) Aniage Knoll, Italy.
‘Gala Schnico Red’ has been asexually propagated by grafting and all the trees of ‘Gala Schnico Red’ have been observed to remain true to type over successive asexually propagated generations and maintain their unique characteristics.
The new variety ‘Gala Schnico Red’ is distinguished from ‘Gala Schnico’, a comparator variety, by the following unique characteristics of an intensive red over colour covering 100% of the fruit skin as compared ‘Gala Schnico’, which has an intensive red over colour covering only 80-90% of the fruit skin. In addition, ‘Gala Schnico Red’ has a 30% higher number of lenticels per unit area on the fruit skin as compared to ‘Gala Schnico’.
Asexual reproduction of this new variety by grafting onto rootstock shows that the foregoing and all other characteristics and distinctions remain true to type over successive asexually propagated generations.
The colours of these illustrations may vary with lighting conditions and, therefore, colour characteristics of this new variety should be determined with reference to the observations described herein, rather than from these illustrations alone.
The following is a detailed description of the ‘Gala Schnico Red’ variety.
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. Colour descriptions and other terminology are used in accordance with their ordinary dictionary descriptions, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Colour designations are made with reference to the CPVO-TP/14/2—Protocol For Distinctness, Uniformity And Stability Tests—Malus domestica Borkh, Apple.

- Hardiness: European zone 8.
- Comparison of ‘Gala Schnico Red’ to the parent tree, ‘Schnitzer Schniga’: The main distinguishing feature between ‘Gala Schnico Red’ and its parent, ‘Schnitzer Schniga’ is the intensity of the apple color. The fruit of the variety ‘Gala Schnico Red’ is very intense (100%) and especially suitable for areas without a good environment for the development of the fruit coloration. ‘Schnitzer Schniga’ is half intensive. about 50%—(depending on its location) and it is suitable for regions with good environmental conditions for the development of the fruit coloration. In addition, ‘Gala Schnico Red’ apple has 30% more lenticels than ‘Schnitzer Schniga’ and the coloring of the ‘Gala Schnico Red’ apples starts very early, much earlier than the beginning of the coloring of the ‘Schnitzer Schniga’ apples. The flowering of these two varieties is very similar. Finally, the growth, branch, trunk, and leaves of these two varieties are similar.
- Disease and insect/pest resistance: No significant disease or insect pest has been observed to date.
