Abstract

A new and distinctive seedling of Malus domestica apple that is distinguished by its complete uniform color pattern, unique eating equality, and long storage life for a mid-season apple.

Description

Latin name: Malus domestica.
Varietal denomination: ‘DS 102’.
BACKGROUND
The present invention relates to a novel and distinct variety of apple tree which has been denominated varietally as ‘DS 102’. More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel mid-season apple tree that is considered hardy for north-central Washington state, moderate on the low side in vigor, and considered spur that will tip bear. The novel apple tree produces uniform, golden-colored fruit with non-protruding lenticels that is not russeted, considered medium-large, and has a 9-month storage life. The flesh of the fruit is snappy, crisp, juicy, and melting.
ORIGIN AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
It has long been recognized that important factors contributing to the success of a new variety of apple tree bearing fresh market fruit are the characteristics of both its growth and fruit. Other significant factors affecting the commercial viability of a new variety of apple include storage characteristics, which are reflected by pomological traits. The new variety of apple tree described herein was derived by the following methodology.
In 1994, seeds from open pollinated ‘Honeycrisp’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,197P) fruit were collected. As such, ‘DS 102’ is most closely related to the ‘Honeycrisp’. In 1995, those seeds were planted in an orchard located in Holman, Wis., USDA Hardiness Zone 4A. In 2005, ‘DS 102’ was selected from the surviving seedlings. In August 2007, second-generation trees were budded on M26 rootstock (unpatented) and in spring 2009, planted in Brewster, Wash., USDA Hardiness Zone 6B. Fruit from the second-generation trees were studied and observed from 2011 through 2019, and it appears that all characteristics of the subsequent trees remain true to that seen in the original first-generation “mother” tree.
SUMMARY OF NEW VARIETY
The ‘DS 102’ apple tree is a new and distinctive seedling of Malus domestica and is characterized as novel by its complete uniform color pattern, its unique quality being exceptionally firm, crisp, and sweet, and its long storage life. ‘DS 102’ is further characterized from its distinctive traits from its parent variety and closest known cultivar, ‘Honeycrisp’. The leaf of ‘DS 102’ is broadly acute and slightly larger in length and width than the ‘Honeycrisp’, whose leaves are ovate. The peduncle length and width of ‘DS 102’ is significantly larger than that of the ‘Honeycrisp’, and ‘DS 102’ contains a unique king bloom which exhibits a peduncle which is shorter than that of the side bloom. ‘DS 102’ presents a golden colored skin while the ‘Honeycrisp’ is bi-colored. The skin of such fruit is not russeted, is smooth and uniform colored with non-protruding lenticels, and does not bruise easily during handling.
