Wiki Draft

Adair is a standard apple cultivar recorded in Prairie Canada as a seedling of 'Delicious', introduced by Mrs. S. Adair of Outram, Saskatchewan, in 1953. [S1] [S2] Available sources preserve it as a local prairie introduction, not a station release. The cultivar name appears to reflect the introducer's family name. [S1] [S2]

The surviving description is brief but clear. Adair is listed as a standard sized apple with greenish yellow fruit that ripens from late August to early September. [S1] Its season places it among early fall apples in the prairie record. [S1]

The packet does not provide a fuller account of flesh, flavor, keeping quality, culinary use, tree habit, disease response, or winter hardiness. It is documented mainly through directory and index entries, so its origin and basic fruit notes are better supported than its orchard performance. [S1] [S2]

The only direct parentage stated is that Adair is a 'Delicious' seedling. [S1] [S2] No sibling, descendant, or broader breeding program links are supplied in the current sources.
