Malus domestica 'Grandpa's Early Red Rezista®' Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips Grandpa's Early Red Rezista® is highly resistant to apple scab and shows good tolerance to fire blight and mildew.

A Little History about Grandpa's Early Red Rezista® Rezista® fruit varieties, which were bred in Europe recently, are unique for their disease resistances and tolerances for many of the most common apple diseases, including apple scab, mildew, fire blight, and bacterial canker. In some varieties, apple scab resistance is provided by multiple genes, which offer much improved and longer lasting resistance to apple scab. Most current "scab-resistant" apple varieties rely on a single gene to provide resistance. Research in Europe has shown that scab resistance provided by a single gene can be overcome by mutations in the strains of apple scab present in a grower's orchard. The Rezista® apple varieties were bred to provide when possible multiple gene resistance and promise to provide better and much longer lasting resistance.
