Apple tree `olsentwo Gala`

Abstract

This new and distinct Gala apple cultivar is the result of a whole tree mutation of the Tenroy cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,121). The fruit of this cultivar is distinguished by its attractive bright Nopal Red undercolor overlain by darker Nopal Red stripes covering 90-100% of the fruit surface, the timing of color development, and by its improved storage life.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Gala apple tree as herein shown and described and characterized particularly by the intense bright color of its fruit, the distinct red-on-red striped color pattern of its fruit, the high percentae of coloration of its fruit, including those in the interior of the tree, and its quality following storage.
