Narrative

'Apache' resulted from a cross of Ark. 1007 x Navaho made in 1988. The original plant was selected in 1991 from a seedling field at the Univ. of Arkansas Fruit Substation, Clarksville. Tested as selection A-1798. 'Apache' produced yields higher than or similar to 'Arapaho' and 'Navaho'. Fruit weight of 'Apache' is a noteworthy attribute, Fruit weight of 'Apache' is a noteworthy attribute, in that it Is larger than either 'Arapaho' or 'Navaho'. 'Apache' was twice as large as 'Navaho' and 80% larger than 'Arapaho'. 'Apache' has excellent fruit fertility and full drupelet set. 'Apache' blooms 2 to 3 days later than 'Arapaho' and 2 to 3 days before 'Navaho'. First harvest date for 'Apache' averages 15 days later than 'Arapaho' and 5 days later than 'Navaho'. Peak and last harvest dates of 'Apache' compared to 'Navaho' are 7 and 6 days earlier, respectively. On average, 'Apache' has a fruiting period of 1O days shorter than 'Navaho'. Fruit of 'Apache' are blocky and conical and very attractive with a glossy, black finish (Figure 2). Fruit firmness was rated lower for 'Apache' compared to 'Navaho' but comparable to 'Arapaho'. Soluble solids concentration of 'Apache' averaged 10.7% over five years, compared to 11.4% for 'Navaho' and 9.6% for 'Arapaho'. Flavor of 'Apache' was rated very good and intermediate between 'Arapaho' and 'Navaho'. Postharvest evaluations of 'Apache' indicated that it did not store as well as 'Navaho', but did perform better than 'Shawnee' in storage trials. Seeds of 'Apache' are significantly heavier than either 'Arapaho' or 'Navaho'. Canes of 'Apache' are thornless, and 'Apache' more erect than either of the comparative cultivars. 'Apache' can be grown in a hedgerow without trellis support, when primocanes are tipped at 1.1 m to control primocane length and encourage lateral branching. Vigor and health of 'Apache' ratings were higher than those for either 'Arapaho' or 'Navaho'. Ratings for winter injury for 'Apache' have been comparable to 'Arapaho' or Navaho'. 'Apache' is moderately resistant to anthracnose and no disease problems have been experienced in evaluations where a single lime sulfur application was utilized. No orange rust [Gymnoconia nitens (Shwein.) F. Kern and H.W. Thurston] has been observed on 'Apache' in any plantings. Reaction of 'Apache' to rosette/double blossom [Cercosporella rubi (Wint.) Plakidas] has not been determined. 'Apache' is expected to perform well in areas where 'Arapaho' or 'Navaho' are adapted.
