Abstract
A new and distinct variety of McIntosh apple tree, ‘Thome Red,’ originating as a naturally occurring limb mutation of the Malus domestica variety of ‘Caudle’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,068). This new variety is unique from its parent in the early timing of the red coloration the skin of the fruit, a much redder coloration of the skin of the fruit at maturity and the red coloration of the leaf petiole and veins.
Description
Malus domestica.
The new variety, ‘Thome Red’ differs from its parent, ‘Caudle’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,068), and other varieties in the following characteristics:
-
- A. The fruit of the new variety differs from all other varieties known to the inventor in that it is a mutation of Caudle’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,068).
- B. The new variety differs from its parent, Caudle’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,068) in that it show bright red coloration 7 to 8 weeks earlier than its parent and finishes to a much fuller, brighter, red coloration at maturity.
A new and distinct variety of apple tree originating as a naturally occurring limb mutation of the Malus domestica variety of ‘Caudle’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,068), hereinafter referred to as the ‘Thome Red’. This new sport is unique from its parent because the fruit starts coloring in early July. The color finishes to a virtually 100% solid, red color with wide stripes. The new variety also exhibits darker coloration of the leaf petiole than the parent.
This new and distinct variety of apple tree was discovered in 2003 as a limb mutation of ‘Caudle’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,068), in an orchard planted in 2000 on Mailing 9 (NAKB 337), (an unpatented selection) rootstock. The new variety was noticed because the fruit started coloring in early July to a bright red finish. This coloration was observed because at that time the fruits on the parent tree were still green in color.
Observations during the next four seasons confirmed that the fruit started coloring in early July to a bright red finish with a bold red stripe, as opposed to ‘Caudle’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,068), which colors at maturity to a red striping over a greenish-yellow background. The mature fruit of the new variety finishes to a full red coloration with a bold red stripe. The new variety also exhibits a red coloration of the leaf petiole and veins. To summarize, the new invention differs from “Caudle”, its closest comparison, in that it starts fruit coloration earlier, finishes to a much redder color with more prominent striping than “Caudle”, and exhibits red coloration of the leaf petiole and veins compared to “Caudle” which has green petioles and vein coloration.
In August of 2003, buds were taken from the original limb and trees for further testing were produced by chip budding on Mailing 9 (NAKB 337) (an unpatented selection) rootstock in Brentwood, Calif. The new variety has remained true to the description herein contained. The new variety has not been grown on its own root.
The accompanying photographs show typical specimens of the new variety as depicted in color as nearly true as is reasonably possible in color illustrations of this character. These specimens were obtained at Kent County, Mich.
