Salish DCHP-2 (October 2016)

• n. & adj. — proprietary, Flora, Agriculture, especially British Columbia

  a variety of apple developed in British Columbia with mostly red and some yellow skin (see Image 1).

  Type: 1. Origin — The Salish apple was developed in British Columbia's Okanagan Plant Improvement Corporation (PICO) and is a protected trade name. This apple, which is "tangy, sweet sub-acid in taste, juicy and very crisp", is the result of a cross-pollination between the Gala and Splendour apple varieties (see PICO reference and the 2012 quotations). See also CFIA reference.
  The apple was first known as SPA 493, but was released in 2012 under the name Salish at the UBC Apple Festival (see the first 2012 quotation), named after the First Nations whose territories are in the southern part of the province (the Coast Salish and Interior Salish peoples). At present (2013), the term is almost exclusive to Canada (see Chart 1).
