This apple originated at the Experimental Farm at Indian Head, Saskatchewan, Agriculture Canada, and introduced in 1936. The tree is moderately vigorous with excellent growth habit, a heavy bearer and annually productive. It is hardy to Zone 2a, and is highly resistant to fire blight. The fruit is medium size, 4.5 cm (1.75") in diameter, round oblate, and matures in late August to early September. The skin is light yellow, streaked and blushed medium red. The flesh is light yellow, very mild, and extremely sweet. It is good for fresh eating, but poor for culinary purposes, and it stores for only a short period..
