Mottled Anis is a Russian apple cultivar described in A Study of Northwestern Apples. The fruit is medium or smaller, oblate, regular, and often unequal. The skin is yellow, but mostly covered with fine dark crimson splashes and stripes, with a heavy blue bloom. [S1]
The source gives Russia as its origin. It does not name a breeder, nursery, release date, or parentage. The cultivar appears in an alphabetical description section of a South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station bulletin on apples for northwestern and northern prairie conditions. [S1]
The flesh is yellow, moderately juicy, fine grained, and subacid, with a sweet aftertaste when fully ripe. The bulletin rates the quality as good. The cavity is very narrow and acute, with russet over the base. The basin is broad, deep, and very abrupt, a trait repeated in the later cultivar character list. [S1]
Its season is August and September. The packet gives no storage details beyond that window, and no culinary use beyond the fruit quality description. [S1]
The available source blocks give no tree habit, productivity, disease resistance, or pruning notes. They state no direct hardiness zone. Its inclusion in a South Dakota bulletin on northwestern apples gives regional trial context, but does not support a precise hardiness claim. [S1]
Mottled Anis is treated here as a Malus domestica apple cultivar based on the apple cultivar context of the source. The packet gives no direct parentage, sibling, or descendant breeding links. [S1]
