Narrative

Late fall ripening, yellow fruit is consistent with descriptions of Newtown. One of my favorite eating apples! Note: many ‘Newtown’ trees, especially ‘Green Newtown’ trees exhibit swollen-stem and flat-apple symptoms, which may be caused by Cherry rasp leaf virus. The scion with the blue label has some swollen areas, but this may also be from rust which was prevalent last year. Scions collected from an apple ‘teaching plot’ at the Oregon State University “Lewis Brown” Horticulture Farm in the mid 1980s. -- Joseph Postman

Comment:

fide Telopea 9:427. 2001, when published this was an illegitimate, superfluous name (Shenzhen ICN Art. 52) for Malus communis Desf. (1798), i.e. based on the same type (that of Pyrus malus L.)
conserved (nom. cons.) against the heterotypic synonyms (Shenzhen ICN Art. 14.4 & App. IV) M. communis, M. pumila, and five other names
