HA2R5T3 - Apple
This new apple variety, HA2R5T2, is a Wijcik-type tree with a columnar growth habit that produces a large, attractive, red, and oblate apple with good flavor.
A seedling designated as HA2R5T2 is the 3rd seeding from the progeny 3452 = HCR23T113 x Wijcik, a cross made by Jules Janick in 1989. Seedlings derived from this cross were planted in the Old Horticulture Farm of Purdue University in 1995 in a planting designated as the "A rows". The 3rd tree was first picked in 1998 on August 13 and described as a red apple, "mac type", over 3" in diameter, and subsequently evaluated in storage on October 7, 1998 as "very attractive, nice flavor, large, tender flesh". The apple was selected for propagation in 1999. It is an attractive, large, red, oblate apple. The tree is a Wijcik type with columnar growth habit. Scab lesions were first observed on the fruit and leaves in 2002.
