## Bibby
Bibby is a Malus domestica cultivar tied to Edmonton, Alberta, with Richard Bibby listed in its record and a 1962 date. It is classed as a standard-size apple and marked as early. [S1] [S2]
## Origin and story Bibby came from a store-bought apple seedling that was planted in a pot with a houseplant around 1930. When Richard Bibby bought the house and lot in 1934, he let the tree grow on. The Little family later planted it out, and the original tree was still at 9716-84 Avenue, Edmonton in 1981. [S1] [S2]
## Fruit and use The fruit is about 8 cm across. It may have light red striping or may not. It is fair for dessert use and good for baking. A ripening note lists September 12 as the date. [S1] [S2] [S3]
## Tree and management context The entry notes that Coutts considered Bibby a likely good replacement for Luke in some areas. No direct details are given for tree habit, vigor, yield, pruning, or storage behavior in the available sources. [S1] [S2]
## Hardiness and resilience Bibby is listed with the code FB1 H2-3. In this source set, that is interpreted as moderately hardy to borderline hardy. [S1] [S2]
## Lineage and uncertainty The parentage is reported as unknown, so no parent chain should be inferred. Bibby is best described as a local Edmonton seedling selection in Prairie apple records. [S2]
## Notable uncertainty There are no full trial descriptions of disease performance, long-storage behavior, or broad regional adaptation beyond the hardiness code. [S1] [S2]
