Arabskoe is a Russian apple noted in early northwestern literature and later prairie reference works. A South Dakota bulletin listed it among varieties that had drawn special attention in the Northwest. A later Prairie Canada directory listed it through Skinner's Nursery and marked it (nied.), linking it to niedzwetzkyana material. [S1] [S2]
The northwestern bulletin gives the fuller fruit description. It describes the fruit as round, green, and overspread with dull purplish red, with numerous white dots, a small deep cavity, a short stout stem, and a broad shallow wrinkled basin. The flesh is white, coarse, and loose, with an acid flavor. The season is winter. C. G. Patten reportedly considered it similar to Duchess in appearance and quality, though not quite so large or so acid. [S2]
Tree information is limited. One source says it blighted badly under Patten's conditions. [S2] Hardiness is not stated directly here. Its inclusion in both a northwestern hardy apple study and a Prairie Canada directory shows that it was discussed in cold climate fruit literature, but the packet does not give a firm zone rating or a clear statement about winter survival. [S1] [S2]
Its broader place in the archive remains unclear. The prairie source classifies Arabskoe as CR, meaning crabapple or applecrab, and connects it to Skinner's Nursery. The older bulletin describes a larger fruit and also places Arabskoe in an identification key under white fleshed apples. No parentage, breeder, or release date is given here. [S1] [S2]
