Varieties-trends in the European Apple Cultivation

Variety trends in the European Apple Cultivation, Walter Guerra

Every two years, the EUFRIN working group “Variety- and rootstock testing of apples and pears” meets up in one of the partner institutes. 2015, the working group met in Lithuania to discuss new and promising varieties. This article tackles the variety trends of the European apple cultivation, which have been presented by the variety testers during this meeting. In every country, the range of apple varieties is different, and the importance of club varieties varies. The leading apple varieties in Europe- with a share of more than 5% of the European apple production- are the standard varieties Golden Delicious, Gala, Idared, Jonagold/Jonagored and Red Delicious. The production of Fuji, Cripps Pink, Pinova and other new varies increased throughout Europe in the past year.
