    Discovery (äpple)

    Discovery är en mestadels rödfärgad äppelsort med ursprung i England där korsningen togs fram redan , men kommersiellt introducerades sorten inte förrän Äpplet har en god söt smak med vitt fruktkött som ibland är lätt rosafärgat.

    Blomningen på detta äpple är medeltidig, och Discovery pollineras av bland annat Alice, Aroma, Cox Orange, Eldrött Duväpple, Filippa, Guldborg, Ingrid Marie, James Grieve, Quinte, Summerred och Transparente Blanche.

    Fruktens form är en aning tillplattad vid skaft och "fluga", samt något konisk, ungefär som en förenklad bild av jordklotet. Det brukar kallas ett till formen "plattrunt" äpple.[1]

    Discovery är resistent mot skorv och mjöldagg men känsligt för fruktträdskräfta. Det går 93 dagar mellan blomning och skörd.[2] Medelvikt är gram, densitet 0,81, Sockerhalt 11,8%, syrahalt 0,67%.[3]

    Discovery (apple)

    Apple cultivar

    'Discovery' is an early season dessert applecultivar. One of its parents was the 'Worcester Pearmain', with the pollinator 'Beauty of Bath'.[1][2]

    History

    [edit]

    'Discovery' was first introduced to the market by the Suffolk nurseryman Jack Matthews. In around , George Dummer, a fruit farm worker from Blacksmiths Corner, Langham, Essex, raised several apple seedlings from an open-pollinated 'Worcester Pearmain'.[3][4] He decided to transplant the best of the apples into his front garden, although the young tree was left unplanted and exposed to frost, wrapped only in sacking, for several months due to a family accident.[5][3]

    The tree survived and later came to the attention of Matthews, who took grafts and developed it (initially under the names 'Dummer's Pippin' and 'Thurston August') before releasing it to commerce under the name 'Discovery' in By the s it had become the main early variety in the UK, though became rarer in later years as imports supplanted early apples in the market.

Very slow to brown when exposed to air.

    uses: Moderately sweet but acidic. Tastes best when the red blush is prominent. Eat it slightly chilled for best flavour. Also makes an excellent apple sauce.
