Title: More on Tydeman's Early Worcester Apple
Authors: P. Stark, Jr. Citation
Abstract:
I noted with interest the information
on the Tydeman's Early Worcester
variety in Vol.. 14, No.4 of
FRUIT VARIETIES AND HORTICULTURAL
DIGEST. Fruits of the Tydeman's Early
Worcester in our variety evaluation
program are sizing well and will soon
be ripe.
The variety seems to be extremely
susceptible to fire blight,
which would certainly be a disadvantage
for those areas that are sometimes
menaced with this disease.
Our
present readings would indicate that it
is at least as suscept.ible as Bartlett
pears; and the disease develops rather
rapidly once initial infection takes
place.—Paul Stark, Jr., Stark Bra's
