Northland is a small apple tree associated with the University of Alberta, with R. Ure named in the entry. One directory entry says it was introduced at Beaverlodge in 1975, while another places it at Excelsior in 1957 and notes it was tested as Minnesota #1423. [S1]
The fruit is listed at about 5 cm, with a yellow green ground color covered by a shiny dark red overlay. It ripens in late August, keeps for about six weeks, and is described as a small but tasty apple that cooks like a crabapple. It was also noted as a possible replacement for Rescue, and one entry says it was selected for earliness and hardiness. [S1]
Sources disagree on the parentage. One entry gives McIntosh x Dolgo, while another gives Antonovka x Dolgo. [S1]
