Nine strains of ‘Delicious’ apples from three sites were evaluated by consumers one week after harvest and 67 days later for flavor, crispness and overall acceptability. ‘Starkrimson’ and ‘Starkspsur Ultrared’ were ranked significantly lower in overall acceptance in comparison to ‘Starking,’ ‘Topred,’ and ‘Oregon Spur II’ one week after harvest. Seventy-four days after harvest ‘Redchief’ (Campbell), ‘Ace’ and ‘Starkspur Ultrared’ were ranked significantly lower in overall acceptance than ‘Starkrimson,’ ‘Oregon Spur II,” and ‘Silverspur.’ Consumers ranked ‘Nured Royal’ higher in color evaluations than seven other strains ten days after harvest.
