Several new summer apple cultivars have recently been evaluated in Tennessee. Summer cultivars are those which mature their fruit in July or August. No summer cultivar is listed among the 15 major apple cultivars grown in the U. S. Fruit of established summer cultivars is soft, has a rapid respiration rate, and storage life is usually short. The soft fruit is easily bruised and is hard to harvest and ship without damage. Fruit color is usually poor due to the high temperatures encountered during fruit maturation.
