Abstract
The Hein Cultivar is a new variety of apple tree, similar to Golden Delicious and other predominantly yellow-fruited cultivars, characterized by an attractive pink blush on exposed fruits, freedom from russet, and with maturity two weeks later than Golden Delicious.
Description
The Hein cultivar is a new variety of apple Malus pumila tree, similar to Golden Delicious and other predominantly yellow-fruited cultivars, characterized by an attractive pink blush on exposed fruits, freedom from russet, and with maturity two weeks later than Golden Delicious.
I discovered the new variety, a chance seedling, growing from a pile of discarded fruit adjacent to storage sheds on my farm at 1010 Upland Way, Tieton, ten miles east of Yakima, Yakima County, State of Washington, in 1985. The seedling had gone unnoticed for perhaps ten years before this time, until friends and workers noticed the fruit and preferred it to the other commercial varieties growing at the farm. The original tree remains in its original location.
This new variety has been asexually reproduced by bark graft and budding through four generations, and fruited through three successive generations. The characteristics of this variety have remained the same in the progeny trees. The varietal name "Hein Cultivar" is proposed for the subject apple tree.
Since the variety is similar to Golden Delicious and other predominantly yellow-fruited cultivars, I have documented the distinct differences between Hein Cultivar and other yellow-fruited cultivars maturing at a similar season (September-October). The results are shown in FIG. 1.
Thus, as shown in FIG. 1, Hein Cultivar matures about 14 days later than Golden Delicious, similar to Blushing Golden and Firmgold. Blushing Golden has a distinctly more yellow ground color and a redder blush (Hein Cultivar has a pinkblush), and is somewhat more elongated. Firmgold has a much longer stem and rarely is blushed.
Though not compared directly, Hein Cultivar also is distinctly different in either appearance or maturity from all strains of Golden Delicious and from other yellow-skinned varieties, e.g., Ozark Gold, Magnolia Gold, Hawaii, Earligold, Ginger Gold, New Gold, Suncrisp, and MollyGold.
The accompanying table and photographs illustrate distinguishing characteristics of this new variety.

Stem.--Length average 20 mm; width (breadth) averages 3 mm; shorter and thicker than Golden Delicious (which averages 28 mm in length, 2.2 mm in width); lightly pubescent.
Skin.--Medium thickness, smooth, glossy, slightly waxy, free from russet. Dots: Inconspicuous, small, even, circular, evenly distributed over entire surface; white to light cream. Ground color: #25-2 to 25-3, Munsell Color Cascade. Overcolor: Brightly blushed with pink (Munsell #39-7 to 39-11) on exposed fruits. Bloom: Scant. Scarfskin: Absent. General color effect: Attractive bright pink to red blush over creamy green ground color.
Flesh.--White with yellowish green tint, juicy, no evidence of water core. Texture Firm, fine-grained, crisp.
