Bode is a Russian-origin apple cultivar, listed as No. 385 in historical northwestern material and classified as a standard apple (5 cm+ fruit class) in prairie references. It is in a small set of ten varieties given special descriptive attention in the northwest, and one source says it is desirable for early summer in the North. The packet gives no breeder, parentage, or release date. [S2][S3][S1]
The fruit is medium to above-medium, generally roundish to oblate, and sometimes slightly ribbed or angular. It is usually pale yellow to yellowish white, often smooth or polished, with some reports of a light blush or pink cast. The flesh is white and tender, and juicy. Flavor is consistently described as edible and practical, ranging from mild subacid to acid, with quality noted as “good to very good” in one section and fair-to-good in another. [S2][S3][S1]
Season information is not fully consistent. One source lists harvest around early August, another lists September, and a diagnostic key places Bode in a pale-yellow early-summer class. No storage life is stated in this packet. [S2][S3]
Tree notes describe Bode as upright-spreading, vigorous, hardy, and productive. Its repeated inclusion in prairie-focused inventories shows it was treated as orchard-worthy for cold climates, though exact zone limits are not directly stated. A fireblight indicator appears as FB2, but this packet does not explain its meaning. [S3][S1]
Lineage context is mainly Russian origin and morphological placement, not direct breeding history. Shared morphological keys include median stamens and a closed, meeting core. No direct parentage chain or descendant-breeding role is documented in this packet. [S2][S3]
