Tom,
The descriptors are the standard terms used to describe the fruit.  The 
descriptor that covers bearing is "Tree Bearing Habit".  Each of bearing 
habits they use to describe apples has its own code number.  Tree Bearing 
Habit for the Apple is listed at this URL: 
http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/codes.pl?115105.  They give a 
definition for each code number, tell you how many varieties have this code 
and give an example of a variety that is assigned the code.  The definitions 
are short and sometimes not very descriptive sometimes.

Hello,

Thanks to all who helped point me at the correct apple database.

Does anyone know what "Descriptor" in "Observations" identifies  if a variety 
is tip bearing or spur bearing?

Thanks,
Tom
