This report presents results from apple cultivar testing at NIBIO Ullensvang during 2016–2024. In total, 23 cultivars and advanced selections were evaluated for flowering, harvest time, yield, tree efficiency, fruit quality, and potential storage performance. Clear differences were found among cultivars in productivity and market suitability. ‘Fonn’ and ‘Jonagold Decosta Robijn’ were the most promising cultivars, combining high and stable yields, good fruit quality, and attractive fruit size. Both of them can be recommended for further commercial testing in a wide scale. Cultivar ‘Santana’ showed value as a niche cultivar because of its stable yield, scab resistance, and suitability for low-allergen and organic production, although its relatively high acidity reduced taste scores. Small fruited cultivar ‘Early Crunch’ produces very tasteful fruits and may have potential in the snack-apple segment.
