Harvey
type: Dessert
synonyms: Early Gold, Earligold, Grandpa's SummerGold
summary: A bud mutation of Golden Delicious discovered in 1979 among seedlings planted at Selah, Washington (U.S.A.). It ripens 45 days earlier than the parent cultivar. It is sometimes described as a chance seedling, but the patent declaration submitted to the U.S. Plant Patent Office definitely states that it is a mutation. Note that it is often referred to as Harvey, a shortening of Dr. Harvey in honour of Dr. Richard Harvey who discovered it, but that name refers to a British heritage variety. There is also a variety named Golden Harvey which is often referred to as simply Harvey.
