Apple cultivar From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pristine apple is a hybrid cultivar of 'Co Op 10' x 'Camuzat' domesticated apples, which are descendants of the 'McIntosh' apple and the 'Starking Delicious'. This cultivar was developed and patented in the United States by the PRI disease resistant apple breeding program,[1] in Indiana, United States in 1994, for its resistance to apple scab.[2] It is susceptible to cedar-apple rust.[3]
