ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification:
Malus domestica.
Varietal denomination: ‘Rebella’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of apple tree botanically classified as
Malus domestica
and known by the varietal name ‘Rebella’. The new variety was discovered in 1986 in Dresden-Pillnitz. The new variety is the result of a planned breeding program between unpatented female parent ‘Golden Delicious’ and unpatented male parent ‘Remo’ (‘James Grieve’×resistant clone). The purpose of the breeding program was to find a new cultivar with high disease resistance, high yield, and excellent fruit quality. The new variety exhibits similar disease resistance to ‘Remo’, but exhibits a different growing habit, taste, color, and ripening time than ‘Remo’. The new variety exhibits a similar growing habit to ‘Golden Delicious’, but exhibits different disease resistance, taste, color, and ripening time than ‘Golden Delicious’. Table 1 illustrates the differences between ‘Rebella’ and ‘Golden Delicious’.
