This article reports a new red flesh apple variety Hongxun No. 1 [Malus sieversii f. neidzwetzkyana (Dieck) Langenf], which had a large number of flowers and was highly productive although the fruits were quite small. The flesh of the fruit was deeply red and the anthocyanin content of ripe fruit peels was 250.4 U/g FW, followed in turn by flesh, new leaves, flowers and new shoots. The acidity of the Hongxun No. 1 juice and juice concentrate was 6- and 5-times higher than that of Gala. The highest number of pollen tubes of Hongxun No. 1 was found in the stigma of Gala, followed in turn by Fuji, Golden Delicious and Starkrimson. In addition, the order of fruit setting rate was similar to that of pollen germination in the stigmas, suggesting its pollination compatibility to Gala was the highest, followed by Fuji, Golden Delicious and Starkrimson. The segregation rates of red and green leaves of the F-1 progeny were in the range of 1:1.04-1.13, indicating that the red colour of leaves was controlled by a single dominate gene.
