Apple tree

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of apple tree that grows vigorously and yields a rich harvest under the undesirable climatic conditions of coastal Southern California. The fruit of the tree ripens early and has a tart flavor. The fruit has a small core with few or no seeds. The flesh of the fruit resists discoloration and deterioration for several hours after being sliced.

I claim:
