Wiki Draft

Sweet Moscow is a Russian apple cultivar recorded by N. E. Hansen in A Study of Northwestern Apples. Hansen identifies it as Sweet Moscow, No. 35 M. He states that its original name was lost in transit, so the English name was suggested instead [S1]. It was sometimes confused with Smoky [S1].

The surviving description is brief. Hansen places Sweet Moscow among green, yellow, or white apples, with or without blush and never striped [S1]. He describes the fruit as roundish conical and pentangular, with median stamens [S1]. The supplied evidence does not preserve details on flesh, flavor, size, season, storage, or culinary use.

The cultivar is listed as Russian in origin [S1]. The record appears in a bulletin on Russian and northern apple introductions for the northwestern United States, but the packet gives no direct hardiness rating, winter survival statement, breeder, parentage, or release date for Sweet Moscow [S1]. Its main surviving interest is its name: a Russian introduction whose original name was lost before or during transmission, leaving Sweet Moscow as a suggested replacement name and causing occasional confusion with Smoky [S1].
