Abstract
A new and distinct Malus domestica Borkh. plant that produces apples having an excellent sugar-acid balance and keeping quality, suitable for use as a table and dessert fruit.
Description
Botanical classification: Malus domestica Borkh.
Varietal denomination: ‘ROHO 3615’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of apple tree botanically classified as Malus domestica Borkh. and known by the varietal name ‘ROHO 3615’. The new variety was discovered in 2000 in Langensendelbach, Germany. The new variety is the result of a natural and stable branch mutation of ‘Pinova’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,601). The new variety exhibits similar disease resistance, fruit storage capacity, tree growth, fruit quality, and fruit size to ‘Pinova’, but exhibits a full red color. The full red color of ‘ROHO 3615’, especially of the apples ripened in the shadow of the trees, distinguishes the new variety from other Malus domestica varieties. Further, the fruit of the new variety ripens later than ‘Gala’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,637) and the taste of ‘Gala’ fruit is sweeter. However, ‘Gala’ is more susceptible to scab.
The new variety has been trial and field tested and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The accompanying photographic drawings illustrate the new cultivar, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type:
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics was collected by asexual reproductions by budding and grafting first carried out in Langensendelbach, Germany in 2000. The new variety was grafted on M9 Rootstock and grown in a planting system field. ‘ROHO 3615’ does not exhibit self-pollination. The color readings were taken in natural daylight. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
