Origin | Indiana, United States in 1994 |
Pristine apple is a hybrid cultivar of 'Co Op 10' x 'Camuzat' domesticated apples, which are descendants of the 'McIntosh' apple and the ' Starking Delicious'. This cultivar was developed and patented in the United States by the PRI disease resistant apple breeding program, [1] in Indiana, United States in 1994, for its resistance to apple scab. [2] It is susceptible to cedar-apple rust. [3]
Tree has a biennial tendency, is diploid, with average vigor. Flowering at mid-late season. Like other domesticated apples, it is self-sterile and needs cross pollination. [1]
Gives a good crop of medium-sized yellow skinned fruits, [1] sometimes with red flush. [2] Flesh colour is also yellowish. Very good flavor for fresh eating. [1]
'Pristine' is harvested at early season [1] and is considered of very good flavor for an early harvest apple. The flavour is somewhat tart. [4] It does not keep fresh very long. [2]
