Abstract: The apple cultivar‘Longfu’is a new spur sport variety selected from the apple cultivar
‘Naganofuji 2’. The shoot internode length of‘Longfu’is between that of‘Naganofuji 2’and ‘Yanfu
6’. Due to its compact canopy，it can prevent the orchard canopy closure caused by shoot over vigorous
growing. The fruit shape is nearly round or oblong in high uniformity and the average weight is 222.34 g.
The fruit colouring speed is high with its whole skin turning red 7–9 days after debagging. The high
quality fruit ratio is above 90%；The flesh is white and delicate tender with rich flavour. The soluble solids
content is 16.1%. The fruit has excellent quality. During the fruit highest producing stage，the fruit yield is
108.8 t · hm-2. The resistance of‘Longfu’is close to that of‘Naganofuji 2’.
