Early ripening Haralson apple--Lautz cultivar

摘要

A new and distinct variety of apple tree is provided which is believed to be a whole tree mutation or sport of the regular Haralson apple variety. The new variety is distinguished from the regular variety by the ability to form apples which (1) ripen earlier, (2) are more uniformly red in color with the absence of striping, (3) are resistant to russeting, and (4) are slightly sweeter in taste.
