Tree Fruit Variety Showcase
'Planning for Tomorrow' series set at Van Well Nursery
Van Well Nursery of Wenatchee,
Washington is featuring five product
choices that are part of its " Planning
for Tomorrow " varieties:
Galaval U.S. Plant Patent No.
19909 A new, high coloring Gala
from France, Galaval is noted for
its red color and dark red stripes.
Millions of trees of this selection
have been planted across Europe
and have now arrived in the United
States. Remarkable color combines
with the taste, aroma, and juiciness
of America's favorite apple. This
variety is available courtesy of the
International Nursery Network
(INN).
Red Rubens U.S Plant Patent No.
14177: A new cross of Gala and Elstar
from Italy, Red Rubens combines
intense apple flavor with a pleasing
sweetness. The fresh taste and
pleasing aroma makes this a favorite
for those who prefer a sharp apple
experience. The bright red fruits are
crisp, juicy, and conical in shape.
After storage, the fruit mellows
and becomes sweeter. This early
September apple makes excellent
cider. Red Rubens is another INN
introduction.
GALAVAL
LADY IN RED
Gabriel U.S. Plant Patent Pending:
An early blush cherry ripening about
five to 10 days ahead of Rainier,
Gabriel is available on trial basis.
The fruit is large, firm, and a little
sweeter to the taste than regular
Rainiers. This cherry was discovered
near Rock Island, Washington, and
Van Well Nursery has been testing it
for a number of years. If you need a
Rainier-type for the early market, this
is the cherry for you.
Lady in Red U.S. Plant Patent No.
18787: A new discovery hailing from
New Zealand, this variety bears red
blushed fruit with pure white flesh.
Lady In Red is sport of Cripp's Pink
and produces lovely fruits that have
the balanced sweet-tart taste that
made Cripp's a worldwide sensation.
Lady in Red is offered exclusively
throughout North America courtesy
of INN. For details on how this
variety can be marketed as a Pink
Lady apple brand, contact Brandt's
Fruit Trees in Yakima, Washington.
Royal Red Honeycrisp (LJ 1000 cv.)
U.S. Plant Patent No. 22244: A new,
blush-type selection of Honeycrisp
with the same flavor and flesh
texture of its popular parent and with
better color. Royal Red Honeycrisp
GALE GALA
also seems to have better storage
characteristics.
Gale Gala (Malaga cv.): The original
" one-pick " Gala remains Van Well
Nursery's No. 1 variety. Gale Gala is
the highest coloring Gala sport on
the market. Wrapped in full red color
with and deep-red stripes, Gale Gala
is a whole tree mutation of Royal
Gala, making it an outstanding strain
that has all the winning characteristics
of its parent. Growers report one-pick
harvests of Gale Gala with packouts
in the 95%-100% Washington Extra
Fancy grade for color. This is a stable
sport with little, if any, reversion. FGN
