Sklanka is a Russian apple cultivar described in N.E. Hansen's A Study of Northwestern Apples. The bulletin gives its origin as Russia and says the examined specimens came from Dewain Cook of Jefferis, Minnesota. [S1]
Hansen describes Sklanka as similar to Grandmother. The fruit is large, nearly regular, roundish oblate, and conical. The skin is yellow, with bronzed red on the sunny side. The dots are obscure, numerous, and minute. [S1]
The cavity is a key identifying trait. It is narrow, regular, and acuminate, with a large radiating patch of russet over the base. The stem is short and deeply inserted. In the cultivar key, Sklanka is also listed with a conical tube, basal stamens, a heavily russeted cavity, and a roundish oblate conical fruit shape. [S1]
The available source gives no parentage, breeder, release date, ripening season, storage behavior, culinary use, tree habit, disease record, or explicit hardiness rating. Its inclusion in a South Dakota bulletin on northwestern apples places it in a northern prairie evaluation context, but that is not a direct hardiness claim. [S1]
