Pinova is a German apple cultivar. It was created in 1965 at the Institut für Obstforschung of Dresden–Pillnitz in Saxony[1] which at that time was in the German Democratic Republic. After Germany was re-united in 1990, the rights to the cultivar passed to the Free State of Saxony.[2]

Pinova is a hybrid between Clivia and Golden Delicious. Clivia is a hybrid of Geheimrat Dr. Oldenburg and Cox's Orange Pippin.[3] Pinova may also be called Corail, Piñata or Sonata.

Characteristics

Pinova apple.

Pinova is a high-yield variety with little tendency towards biennial bearing; it has good resistance to scab and is a good pollinator for many varieties. The fruit stores well. It has some of the taste of Cox's, the coloration of Oldenburg and the shape of Golden Delicious.[2]

Pinova is planted commercially in Europe. In the United States it is patented,[2] and may be sold under the brand-name "Piñata".
