Mariri Red^™ Braeburn USPP# 11,604 (previously Eve^® Braeburn)

This natural mutation of Braeburn has a full red blush with a maturity similar to standard Braeburn. Mariri Red Braeburn was discovered in Nelson, New Zealand, and has the highest color of any bushed Braeburn we have seen. Eve's early coloring permits optical harvest timing. Fruit is medium to large with a round conical shape. Flesh is firm and crisp with an acid-to-sweetness ratio of standard Braeburn. Bud union brittleness can be a problem on EMLA 26 rootstock.

Origin: Nelson, New Zealand.
