Two new apple varieties developed from the apple breeding program at Virginia Polytechnic Institute were named and released recently. Both are early fall ripening varieties and were selected to fill a period in the ripening season before harvest of Delicious and its sports gets underway. Areas to which they appear adapted include the mountain and higher Piedmont sections of Virginia where Delicious, Rome, Winesap and Golden Delicious perform well. Possibly other areas which grow these varieties well may find Shenandoah and Roanoke of interest. Brief descriptions of their fruit and tree characteristics follow.
