Abstract

A new and distinct variety of apple tree was identified from a population of seedlings derived from an open-pollinated ‘Honeycrisp’ progeny test. The new variety, named ‘MAIA7’ is distinct from ‘Honeycrisp’ as ‘MAIA7’ ripens mid-October, 4-5 weeks after ‘Honeycrisp’. Unlike ‘Honeycrisp’, ‘MAIA7’ has yellow skin (R.H.S. Color Chart Yellow Group 13A), similar in appearance to ‘Goldrush’. ‘MAIA7’ fruit are medium sized, extremely crisp, with complex sweet-tart flavors that includes tones of brown sugar and pineapple. ‘MAIA7’ maintains crisp texture and full flavor in 35° F. storage for at least 10 weeks longer than ‘Honeycrisp’.
