## Bancroft (apple cultivar)
Bancroft is listed as a standard apple, which means it is a 5 cm+ fruit type, with fruit size recorded around 7 cm and a dull red skin [S1]. It is also listed under the synonym Bankroft [S1]. Parentage is shown as Forest × McIntosh [S1]. The cultivar is tied to CEF and dated 1930, with introduction noted around 1935 [S1].
Fruit is described as hard, fair in quality, and having a very distinctive aromatic flavor [S1]. It ripens in mid-October, is best after Christmas, and may keep until spring [S1]. The record does not state anything direct about tree vigor, bearing habit, pruning behavior, disease response, or use pattern, so those remain unknown from this packet [S1]. References include BHB and Smithfield [S1]. The entry appears in a Prairie Canada focused apple list, but no explicit hardiness zone is given [S1].
