Apple tree named ‘PV 1027’

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of apple tree, ‘PV 1027,’ originating as a mutation of the Malus sylvestris variety of ‘Arends’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,800). This new variety is unique from its parent because the fruit ripens 7 to 9 days before the parent and presents a larger, more reniform shape with a shinier finish.

1. A new and distinct variety of apple tree,  Malus sylvestris,  substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of a vigorous, upright, spreading, medium density, regular bearing tree, producing fruits that mature 7 to 9 days before the parent and present a larger fruit with a more reniform shape and a shinier finish.
