Wiki Draft

White Astrachan is recorded in the USASK source as an apple cultivar entry. It appears in the apple directory sections for “Wealthy to Whitney” and for “W,” indicating it is indexed in the cultivar list rather than described in detail. [S1]

The entry includes a reference note reading “Ref WCSH (1949) Tested at UA,” so its listing is linked to a 1949 Western Canadian Society for Horticulture reference and a test record at the University of Alberta. [S1]

Only reference-level provenance is provided in this snippet; the same source cites UA (University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB.) and WCSH (Western Canadian Society for Horticulture, 1944- ) as cited references. [S1]
