Abstract

A new and distinct apple tree ( Malus domestica ) named ‘PE’. ‘PE’ is a spontaneous limb mutation of ‘Cripps Pink’ and is distinguished by its very early full pink-red color over the entire fruit surface, even in shaded areas of the limb. ‘PE’ is also distinguished from its parent by its early maturity, reddish-brown wood color on the sunny side, very large level of leaf anthocyanin, high levels of young fruit anthocyanin, and high intensity of Pink-Red overcolor. The pattern of overcolor is solid blush. Leaf blade incisions are serrate type 1, there are fewer lenticels on one-year-old wood, and leaf blade length and width are also smaller than for the parent.
