Abstract
‘Seohong’ is an early-maturing cultivar with high levels of antioxidant phytochemicals and a much longer shelf life than ‘Gala’. The fruit has a greenish yellow ground color and a medium red blush over the whole fruit. It is medium to large-sized and has an excellent appearance and outstanding flavor. The flesh is extremely juicy and sweet and retains crispness and juiciness for 2 weeks at room temperature. It ripens 1 week later than ‘Tsugaru’ and is harvested in late August in Korea. The tree is moderately vigorous, spreading, semispur type with productive and regular bearing. It is not subject to alternate bearing when proper thinning is performed but has some preharvest drop. A plant patent was granted in 2007, and the cultivar will be marketed under the trade name ‘Seohong’ to emphasize its early maturing and red color.
