ABSTRACT:
A new and distinct variety of apple tree is provided which exhibits a columnar growth habit that generally resembles a vertical pole. The growth habit is more compact than the previously released varieties of columnar apple trees. The new variety resulted from a cross between the WIJCIK variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,382) and the GREENSLEEVES variety (non-patented in the United States). Flowers form earlier than on the other varieties of columnar apple tres. The new variety forms attractive large light green fruit with a red flush. The fruit configuration is irregular, round and conical with a prominent knobby crown. The fruit flesh is cream colored. The harvest date typically is late September. The fruit can be cold-stored until March-April while present in an ambient atmosphere. The fruit stews and bakes well and has a crisp, tart, and sweet taste.
