Anisette is an old Russian apple. In prairie sources it appears as Anisette, and an earlier northwestern bulletin also lists it as Anisovka within the Duchess group of Russian apples. [S1] [S2] [S3]
A Morden bulletin and related prairie orchard sources identify its origin as Russia. The same record tradition links it to Scott testing in 1911 and Rosthern testing in the 1930s, showing it was part of prairie cold-climate evaluation. [S1] [S3]
Detailed fruit characteristics are not preserved in the available text. The sources classify it as a standard apple, meaning normal-size fruit (roughly 5 cm or larger) rather than a crabapple type. [S1] [S3]
Its fruit is described as very similar or nearly identical to Duchess of Oldenburg, with one source suggesting it may be slightly hardier. [S1] [S2] [S3]
The record gives a hardiness designation of H2-3, which means between moderately hardy and borderline hardy. Along with its documented prairie trials, this supports treating Anisette as a cold-climate prairie apple. [S1]
Its broader value is its place in the Duchess lineage used in early prairie orchard trials for northern conditions. [S2]
