Abstract

A new and distinct variety of apple was identified from a population of seedlings derived from an open-pollinated ‘Honeycrisp’ block. The new variety, named ‘MAIA-T,’ is distinct from ‘Honeycrisp’ as ‘MAIA-T’ ripens mid-September, 2 weeks after ‘Honeycrisp.’ Unlike ‘Honeycrisp,’ ‘MAIA-T’ has purple skin, yellow ground color, and considerable russet. ‘MAIA-T’ fruit are medium sized, crisp, with more complex, sweet-tart flavors than ‘Honeycrisp.’ ‘MAIA-T’ does not maintain crisp texture in 35° F. storage for as long as ‘Honeycrisp.’
