'Wright' Apple Released from the
Missouri State
Fruit Experiment Station
(A-827)
(Ben Davis X Jonathan)
The
'Wright' produces larger crops than 'Jonathan' in
southern Missouri, with fruit of better quality than 'Ben Davis'. The fruit
is large and attractive; has good flavor somewhat earlier. The fruit is
round, dark red with yellow background and obscure stripes of darker
color. The tree is a thrifty grower on very mediocre soil and is not
subject to blight. The foliage is good, not as susceptible to scab as
'Jonathan'. Introduced 1942.
