Recumbent is a Russian apple cultivar recorded by N. E. Hansen in A Study of Northwestern Apples. Hansen lists it as "Recumbent (Lejanka, 41 M)" and says it is nearly or quite identical with Hibernal, a hardy Russian apple group discussed elsewhere in the bulletin. [S1]
The fruit is large, roundish oblate, and somewhat angular. The skin is greenish yellow, with sparse broken stripes and splashes of dull red and a somewhat bronzed mixed color. A later short descriptor also notes much russeting in the cavity. [S1]
The flesh is juicy and acid. Hansen rated it good for culinary use, so it is described more clearly as a cooking apple than a dessert apple. Its season is late fall to early winter, while another list gives the broader season as summer to early winter. [S1]
Recumbent has no modern hardiness zone rating in the record. Its cold climate relevance comes from its Russian origin, its inclusion in Hansen's northwestern apple study, and its close link with the Hibernal group, which the bulletin treated as important northern material. [S1]
The record does not name a breeder, release year, parentage, or detailed tree habit. Its clearest identity details are Russian origin, the synonym or listing name Lejanka, number 41 M, and near identity with Hibernal. [S1]
