SPARTAN (APPLE)
The 'Spartan' apple is an apple cultivar developed by Dr. R.C Palmer in 1926 at the Canadian Apple Research Station in Summerland, British Columbia, now known as the Pacific Agri-food Research Centre - Summerland.[1] The Spartan is notable for being the first new breed of apple produced from a formal scientific breeding program.[2] The apple is a cross between two North American varieties, the McIntosh and the Newtown Pippin.
The Spartan apple is considered a good all-purpose apple.[3] The apple is of medium size and has a bright red blush, but can have background patches of greens and yellows.[4]
