Saska appears in the prairie apple directory as a crabapple-type apple entry (applecrab), with fruit listed as less than 5 cm in diameter and specifically 3 cm, and bright red in color.[S1] It is described as an early fruiting type.[S1]
The record for origin and breeding is uncertain. One line presents Saska as a probable baccata seedling, while another lists it as "Mac x" with seedling uncertainty, and the names are recorded as Steiger/Segger Wheeler at Rosthern (1934).[S1] It was also noted as tested with fair success at Indian Head in 1955.[S1]
