chinese cultivars

[edit]

China produces 40% of the world's apples, yet not a single chinese cultivar is mentioned here? What's a good source? I've got chinese apples turning up on my shop shelves, and I know nothing about them! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.144.115.235 (talk) 18:27, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Braeburn

[edit]

Why does the Braeburn have its place of origin as New Zealand but has the United States as well in the next column. The Braeburn article has nothing about the US apart from a redirect to a place there which seems to have nothing to do with the apple. This should be changed.Beligaronia 09:31, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jonagored

[edit]

Jonagold mentions Jonagored as a derivative, but there's no entry for it here? --Belg4mit 01:14, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My Jewel

[edit]

Jenneting apples: I found this page searching for a complete list of Jenneting apple varieties. Have not found such a list so far. I have found that Delicious and Jonathan are "Jenneting" varieties. This is important because of a popular "apple fast" which requires the use of only jenneting apples. Hope someone has this knowledge and will share it.

Gravenstein

[edit]

The information about Gravenstein in the table and the Russians in California is not accurate. The Russians did not take gravensteins into the San Joaquin valley, they took it down into the Sonoma valley, where gravenstein apple orchards flourished until the dawn of the wine industry. (Alas, the orchards are all but dissapearing, leaving in their wake only This is accutately described in the Gravenstein wiki page. AxelKratel (talk) 04:35, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Anna

[edit]

Anna is a low chill apple, and it does not like humid conditions. No apple likes humid conditions, causes too much disease. There is a reason commercial apples are primarily produced in the arid inland areas of Washington state. The only thing Anna has in common with warm humid climate is lack of chill. It should be noted as a "low chill" cultivar, and it is a Summer apple. See [Dave Wilson on low chill apples] 04:35, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

My Jewel

[edit]

The original article I wrote for Wikipedia (was deleted) can still be found at [User:ChildofMidnight/My Jewel] AxelKratel (talk) 04:35, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

polish cultivar

[edit]

there is no word about polish apples, for example ligol, delikates, alwa, fantasy, ligolina, redcroft and others... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.186.75.70 (talk) 19:59, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yellow transparent

[edit]

This is known in my region as one of the earliest season apples, but not mentioned here. Would be a useful addition.

Tag to indicate that apples can be grown outside their country of origin

[edit]

Perhaps what would be useful is a tag to indicate that apples can be grown outisde their country of origin. For example, this list says that Jonagold originated in the United States, but members of this variety on sale in supermarkets in the United Kingdom often come from South Africa.

Bank Hall Apple Trees

[edit]

Apple Trees identified at Bank Hall in Bretherton are Newton Wonder (c.1890), Bismarck apple (c.1870), Bramley apple, White Transparent (apple), Golden Delicious (c.1914), Laxton's Superb (c.1922) & Crimson Bramley (apple).

I personally created the Laxton Superb wikipedia page last year so I know about that one and its history, but I am wondering why some of the others are not on this list and if there is anyone that knows about them? are the missing ones rare? thanks JMRH6 (talk) 02:12, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

7500 Cultivars...

[edit]

Wouldnt it be worth making a full proper list of them all? just a thought, it is interesting to know which ones are rare and no longer used and the history of why they may no longer be used, etc and which ones are still about and identifiable. JMRH6 (talk) 17:10, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That would be quite a list. There are about 200 cultivars in this list, under 3 percent of them all.
I would be more interested in list of 10 most popular cultivars, since it was just said in a program that none of the top10 are scab resistant. 82.141.124.221 (talk) 14:45, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An alternative approach would be to highlight the various public databases which contain more information. The UK's National Fruit Collection, which is the responsibility of the Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs, has a collection of 3,500 accessions in Kent. The University of Reading, which is responsible for developing the UK national collection database, provides access to search the national collection at http://www.nationalfruitcollection.org.uk/index.php. The University of Reading's wwork is part of the European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources collaborative programme of which there are 38 countried in the Malus/Pyrus working group. http://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/index.php?id=2501&tx_wfqbe_pi1[uid]=59 Isthisuseful (talk) 18:40, 2 December 2012 (UTC) The UK's national fruit collection database contains a wealth of information regarding alternative name for what is essentially the same 'genetic' apple variety. Search for Court Pendu Platt to find alternative names including names in use across many other countries.

I have added a couple of sentences to indicate the existence of the UK national fruit collection. This could be supplemented by other English tongue collections, e.g. Irish, Australian etc. I have also added this information to the cultivars talk page.

New cultivars for the table

[edit]

Below are two collapsed tables. Except for a few likely errors, none of these appear in the table of cultivars at this article. I thought I'd present them here before adding them in. Please remove inappropriate items. After some time has passed, and if there are no objections, I will add these items to the list (sorted, of course).

Errata

[edit]

The seasons are nominated by months in the article. November implies late autumn, etc. Please change this as it is not applicable in the Southern Hem. The Earth is not a hemisphere!!220.244.72.236 (talk) 02:29, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sekai Ichi missing from the list?

Readibility of the Comment column

[edit]

The description of the apples is not very readable at a glance, and contains different types of information. Perhaps separating it into specific columns, such as one detailing the harvest period and another detailing use period, could work. There already is a separate column for usage after all. If not feasible, I would suggest at least using bullet lists instead of paragraphs for better readability. Bluejet007 (talk) 07:04, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sortable cider apple list

[edit]

I'd like to request, if someone has the skill, that the cider apple list table be reworked to have those nifty re-orderable columns, so that folks can re-sort the list by acidity, tannin, days, and Spec. gravity, as this would be exceedingly convenient for growers browsing for varieties.

Probably going to split the big big table into section headers for letters of the alphabet

[edit]

The table at present is just...way too big to navigate comfortably. It's too big to even edit comfortably. It takes a second for every single stroke of the keyboard to show up; I'm getting nowhere very slowly with updating its formatting.

I'll likely hop on desktop later today and split the table up into section headers, so I can edit quickly and navigate easily.—Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 13:15, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
