Apple tree: Arlet

Abstract

A new variety of apple tree has fruit with a firm flesh which is excellent for fresh eating and for use in salads. The fruit of the variety also exhibits a relatively long shelf life when compared with Golden Delicious apples and takes on a somewhat waxy or greasy appearance after extended storage. The new variety produces high and regular fruit yields and has fruit with medium fruit ripening.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of apple tree, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its fruit with firm flesh, fruit with a relatively long shelf life, but which takes on a somewhat waxy or greasy appearance after extended storage, time of fruit ripening -- medium, high and regular fruit yields.
