Ell #1 is a standard apple cultivar in the Prairie apple directory and is described as a McIntosh Red seedling [S1]. The source links it to Henry Ell of Salvador, Saskatchewan and says it was introduced by Lloyd in 1939 [S1]. It is also listed under the synonym "Ell's Seedless" [S1].
The fruit is a standard-size apple, about 5 cm in diameter, larger under irrigation, and red in color [S1]. It is listed for both dessert and cooking, though Lloyd described it as "rather sharp for dessert" [S1].
Tree notes are minimal: the tree is slow-growing and light-yielding [S1]. No pruning, disease, or storage details are given in this entry [S1].
Hardiness is given as H2-3, and the source expands that to moderately hardy to borderline hardy [S1]. No direct USDA zone number is provided, so the usable interpretation is the source’s own hardiness code rather than a mapped zone claim [S1].
Ell #1 appears to be a historical prairie selection tied to named people, a place, and taste notes, with concise trait details for identification and use [S1].
