Pineapple is a Russian apple cultivar recorded by N. E. Hansen in A Study of Northwestern Apples as Pineapple No. 988. Hansen includes it among apple cultivars described for northwestern fruit growing, but gives no breeder, nursery, parentage, or release date. [S1]
The fruit is small, conical, and angular. The skin is yellow, with minute white dots described as distinct and partly areolar. The cavity is wavy and ribbed. The stem is long and stout. The basin is very shallow, often nearly flat and wrinkled. Hansen also notes a large calyx with large segments, a large open core, and twelve large light brown seeds. [S1]
The flesh is white, or whitish in the diagnostic list, and subacid. The narrative entry gives a late fall season. A keyed list also places Pineapple in a broader midsummer to early winter identification section. [S1]
No source in this packet gives direct hardiness language for Pineapple. Its Russian origin and inclusion in a South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station bulletin on northwestern apples make it relevant to cold-region apple history, but this is not a documented zone rating. [S1]
The packet does not provide parentage, descendants, disease notes, culinary use, tree habit, productivity, or storage duration beyond the late fall season note. These details should stay open until stronger source records are found.
