Red Baron is an apple cultivar listed as a cross between Golden Delicious and Daniels Red Duchess [S1]. The source associates it with Excelsior (1969), but does not explicitly state what that date refers to [S1]. It is identified as developed for northern U.S. conditions and appears in notes by J. Raymond Blades (Ohaton, AB), with BHB cited as a reference [S1].
Fruit are classified as ST, which the source defines as standard type with fruit 5 cm or more in diameter; for Red Baron the stated size is 6–7 cm, smooth, and attractively orange-red [S1]. It is described as very late ripening and noted as holding through hard fall frosts [S1].
Hardiness notes include H2, expanded in the source as moderately hardy, and an additional notation that it will stand hard fall frosts [S1]. The cultivar is reported at Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, and as being grown by J. Coutts since about 1940; fruit quality is said to improve with storage, similar to Haralson [S1].
