Liberty (apple)

Liberty is a hybrid apple cultivar developed by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station.

It was a seedling produced in 1955 from pollinating 'Macoun' from 'Purdue 54-12' for the sake of acquiring Malus floribunda disease resistances.

There are numerous light colored small sunken dots on the surface of the fruit.

At Geneva, it is ripe about October 5 on the average or about 10 days after Mclntosh.

'Liberty' is considered to be primarily a dessert apple and has not as yet been given a processing test.
