Abstract:
Australia's climate, location and history have
influenced apple cultivar breeding and selection.
Thirty-seven cultivars originating in Australia
are described. 'Granny Smith' has been the
most widespread success to date.
Apple production districts are spread across six States, with
Victoria producing 30$ of the 310,000 tonnes
produced annually in Australia.
Cultivar improvement via conventional breeding and biotechnology research is ongoing and co-ordinated
across four States.
