'Grove' Apple Released from the 
Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station

(A-1150)

('Ingram' X 'Delicious')

This cross was made in 1915. The fruit is attractive, medium to large size, good quality, and has the ability to color well at least two weeks before ripening. In form and color it somewhat resembles a solid red 'Winesap'. It is distinctly conical, slightly pinched on one side. Ripening season is a little later than 'Winesap'. The fruit is uniform in shape, size and ripening; hangs well on the tree and is an excellent shipper and keeper. It is not as subject to scab as 'Delicious' or to blight as Ingram. The set of fruit is improved with cross pollination. The fruit buds retain the late blooming habit of Ingram, blooming fully ten days after 'Delicious'. Introduced 1935.
