Oriole is listed as a standard apple, with parentage given as Yellow Transparent x Liveland Raspberry and an association with Excelsior in 1949. It is also noted as Minn. 714. [S1]
The fruit is described as about 7 cm across, well striped and splashed with red, with a sprightly aromatic flavor. It was noted as good for both dessert and cooking, and said to resemble Duchess but ripen earlier. [S1]
One reference line notes Erskine recommended it. A shorthand rating also appears to indicate moderate fire blight susceptibility and a very hardy class, but that notation is abbreviated and should be read cautiously. [S1]
