CN-121
type: Dessert
synonyms: Marketed as SugarBee
summary: Developed in northwestern U.S.A. in the late 1900s , this apple derives its intense, sweet flavour from the flower parent, a Honeycrisp.
identification: Medium size, round tending to conic with a strong tendency to lopsided development. The base colour is yellow, over which is a bright red wash that covers between 30 and 90 per cent of of the surface. Marked with slightly darker scattered stripes. The skin is somewhat tough and marked with light-coloured lenticels, some with slightly russetted centres. The stem is short and somewhat slender, set in a deep, funnel-shaped cavity which is lined with thin russet. A light bloom develops on the skin.
characteristics: The flesh is cream coloured and crisp. Juicy, very sweet with a distinct pear flavour.
origins: Raised from the seeds of an open pollinated MN 1711 collected in 1994 by Washington (U.S.A.) orchardist Chuck Nystrom and raised at the University of Minnesota's apple apple orchard at Worthington (U.S.A.). Seedling CN-121 was selected as the one that with the most desirable characteristics in 2004 and slated for further developments.
cultivation: Moderately vigorous, upright spreading tree. Spur bearer. Suited to high elevation orchards.
harvest: Ready for harvest in the latter half of the fourth period.
notes: Differs from the Honeycrisp in that it has a bright red wash as opposed to a lighter red striping which is typical of the Honeycrisp. It ripens 10 days later than its flower parent and tends to be crisper and have a higher sugar content.
