Renown is a prairie applecrab, usually treated as a crabapple or applecrab because its fruit is under 5 cm across.[S1] [S2] [S3] Sources describe it as a Repka Kislaga seedling developed at the Experimental Farm at Indian Head, Saskatchewan.[S2] [S3] Sources place it in 1935 or 1936.[S2] [S3] It was notable enough to be listed among highly recommended prairie crabapples and among apple crabs suited to less favorable prairie zones.[S1] [S2]
The fruit is described as about 3.5 to 4 cm in diameter, yellow with a red splash or wash, with white flesh.[S2] [S3] It was valued mainly as a sweet dessert fruit for fresh eating, not for processing.[S1] [S2] [S3] One prairie description calls it mild and sweet, says it is reminiscent of Golden Delicious, notes good resistance to browning, and says it is not good for canning.[S1] Sources place ripening from early September to medium late or rather late season, likely reflecting local conditions or source style.[S2] [S3] [S1]
Prairie sources present Renown as a productive, recommended fruit for colder districts.[S1] [S2] The recommendation codes in Edible Apples in Prairie Canada rate it between the hardiest and moderately hardy classes and list it as highly recommended for most of the prairie region.[S1] A later prairie guide also places it among apple crabs suited to less favorable zones and calls it mid season there.[S2] Together, these sources suggest a cultivar with broad prairie usefulness, though the season coding varies.[S1] [S2]
Renown also has an unusual naming problem. One later directory says the writer coined the separate name "Renown One" to distinguish another standard sized apple from the more common Renown crabapple.[S1] That same source preserves a memorable selection story: children raiding the test orchard dropped other apples and filled their pockets with Renown.[S1]
