Spartan
A dual purpose eating and cider apple with hints of melon and strawberry.
Small to medium fruit, base colour green, but almost completely covered with deep red flush. White, crisp and juicy flesh, best eaten straight off the tree.
Should be left to ripen on the tree until October, stores until March, although can become soft and woolly with time. Excellent pollinator.
One of the most important commercial cider varieties in Canada, introduced by the Summerland Station, British Columbia, in 1936. Still a favourite in many Quebec cideries to this day. A sweet addition to cider blends.
