Apple tree `Tensei`

Abstract

The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of apple tree originating as a bud mutation of "Fuji", the Japanese leading late maturing apple cultivar. The new apple tree is generally similar to its parent, "Fuji", with respect to spreading tendency, medium vigor, length of internode, but it is distinguished from "Fuji" by larger size of fruit, leaf, opened flower than its parent.

What is claimed: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of apple tree, substantially as illustrated and described herein, to be a true mutation of the parent cultivar "Fuji", particularly characterized by its fruit, opened flower and leaf which are larger than the known "Fuji variety".
