Elmer is an apple cultivar entry labeled as a standard apple, with fruit described as about 5 cm or larger, and its fruit is said to resemble Northern Spy [S1]. The origin note lists Elmer as a Northern Spy seedling and cites a 1912 Canadian Experimental Farms source and W.T. Macoun [S1]. Fruit details are limited: Elmer is described as late season, with no reported flesh, flavor, ripening window, or storage information [S1]. The available packet includes no tree habit, productivity, pruning, disease, or management traits [S1]. No explicit hardiness zone or winter-survival statement is given; the record is a prairie reference entry with citations including Morden and Smithfield [S1].
