Abstract: A new cultivar‘Wangshanhong’ tested as 93-01 with early maturing, full-red and a long storage life was selected from mutation of‘Nagano Fuji 2’. Through the appraisal of morphology, anatomy, pollen morphology, analysis of physiological and comp rehensive characteristics, area trials, isozyme map and
the ability of resistance to hardness and diseases, the results show that Wangshanhong is a mutation of‘Nagano Fuji 2’. Its resistance to hardness and diseases is slight stronger than ‘Nagano Fuji 2’. It ismatured 15 d earlier than ‘Nagano Fuji 2’. The surface color of fruit is full-red without bagging. It has the same long storage life as Nagano Fuji 2.
