Quinte is an apple cultivar listed as a cross of Crimson Beauty and Red Melba, associated with CEF (1964) and L.P.S. Spangelo [S1]. It is classified as a standard apple, which here means a fruit size class of at least 5 cm, and the fruits are described as about 7 cm, yellow with bright red blush [S1]. Flavor and texture are reported as good [S1].
The entry calls it an early good eating apple and notes that it can hold up well during shipping, but also says it does not keep well in storage [S1]. Productivity is described as moderate and rather biennial [S1]. It is also described as a strong grower, with mixed performance notes: fairly hardy for an Ontario apple, yet producing little fruit in some reports (including a Saskatchewan note), attributed to cited sources such as Coutts (1991) and Manchester (1991), with BHB also referenced [S1].
