Definitions
- This invention is a new and distinct cultivar of apple tree. It was discovered by applicant at his farm located in Section 33, Unity Township, Columbana County, Ohio, in March, 1973, as a limb mutation of the Law Strain of Red Rome. The new variety was asexually reproduced by Hilltop Nurseries and was given the experimental designation DS55. Reproduction was both by budding and grafting from the parent limb and these trees are growing at the Hilltop Nurseries farm at RFD #2, Hartford, Mich.
- the new variety is a heavily spurred tree that is particularly characterized by the high percentage of shoot buds that form fruit spurs or short fruiting branches.
- the Law Strain of Red Rome does not exhibit these highly spurred characteristics.
- the new apple tree also exhibits dwarfing characteristics, consistently being as much as 20-25% smaller than said Law Strain of Red Rome variety.
- the internode spacing is, on the average, 5% less on the new variety compared with the Law Strain of Red Rome, and a much higher percentage of such nodes form a fruiting spur or branch.
- FIG. 1 a typical example of the fruit and foliage of DS55.
- FIG. 2 shows two representative branches of DS55, particularly illustrating the close internode spacing.
- Bark On fruiting wood, grayish-olive color, with very few slightly raised, but prominent lenticels.
- the bark is smooth, only slightly glossy to dull.
- Current season shoot growth is medium to slender and slightly zig-zag.
- the shoot color is reddish-brown and very shiny with sparse lenticels that are slightly raised and moderately pubescent towards the tip.
- Shape Somewhat ovate, upward folded, slightly wavy edges, leaf angle is very upright on new growth changing to more horizontal to inconsistent on fruiting wood and old growth.
- Upper surface is a medium gloss moderate olive-green (Munsell chart-Hue of 5GY, value 3.5), lower surface lighter green and somewhat pubescent, with prominent raised veins and a midrib that is red to purplish-red -- the red being most intense at the point of petiole attachment to the stem, the color intensity getting lighter and pinker as the midrib and veins move to the outer end and edges of the leaf.
- Sepal Very long and slender -- 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch long on current season growth, and on older growth they average 1/4 inch or less to nonexistent.
- Buds are a distinctive purplish-red color and somewhat pubescent, the fruit bud is long, slender, cigar shaped, and hooked inward toward the shoot at the tip, which is not true of the Red Rome parent.
- Color White with red spots at vascular bundles, and red epidermis adjacent skin.
- Aroma Faint, pleasant.
- This apple is good as a dessert apple and for commercial apple sauce.
