Abstract

Russet sports of 'Golden Delicious' apple trees have been observed throughout five growing seasons in commercial orchards. Although more difficult to detect than in other varieties such as 'Starking', spontaneous bud sport variations do exist in the 'Golden Delicious' apple. The 'Golden Delicious' apple, produced throughout all the deciduous fruit growing areas of the world, has gained prominence as one of the leading apple varieties. However, since its commercial introduction, no bud sports with russet resistant fruit have been identified.
