'Holly', a late 'Delicious' type apple, was released by the Ohio Agr. Research and Development Center, of Ohio State University, at Wooster, on June 30, 1970. A cross between 'Jonathan' and 'Delicious', it is completely covered with deep, bright red, resembles 'Delicious' in shape, but has less prominent points at the calyx end. 'Holly' is juicy and sweet in flavor, although more tart than 'Delicious'. It matures about eight days after 'Delicious' and its sports at 'Wooster'. It becomes ripe in storage between January and February, and shows less of a tendency to become mealy in storage than 'Delicious'. The original tree of 'Holly' began to bear at Wooster after eight years in the orchard.
'Holly' was developed by F.S. Howlett, who retired on the very day it was introduced. Dr. Howlett made the original cross for 'Holly' in 1952, and the unnamed seedling was first planted at Wooster in 1954.
