Description

TropicSweet produces a medium size, sweet tasting fruit. It has a low chilling requirement of 250 chill units adaptable to subtropical climates. Trees are observed to be resistant to powdery mildew and fire blight. Fruit sugar levels are typically 14 to 15 brix, but low in acidity resulting in a delicious, sweet taste even in green fruit. Trees of TropicSweet bloom with 'Anna' appleĀ  but ripen in early June about a week before 'Anna.' Fruit are firmer and taste much sweeter than 'Anna' and are noticeably lower in sourness (acidity), even when green ripe. Fruit range 20 to 30% red overcolor and have a green ground color compared to 50% for 'Anna' and are about the same size (120 g or 6.5 cm diameter). Fruit shape is round-conic. Fruit are uniform in shape and size and mature in about 105 to 110 days after full bloom. Trees produce a moderately vigorous semi-spreading tree with good crotch angles with a semi-spur-type bearing habit. Trees of TropicSweet are not self-fruitful, but this variety is cross-pollinated with either 'Anna' or 'Dorsett Golden.' TropicSweet is recommended for areas where 'Anna' is grown successfully.
