Wiki Draft

Heyer #2 is a standard apple that was noted from a tree in Edmonton, reportedly purchased as Heyer #2 around 1960. The fruit is described as oblate, about 8 cm across, yellow green with a light blush, and marked with fine green dots and a light bloom. The stem is short, the cavity russetted, and the basin shallow. [S1]

Its flesh was described as crisp, juicy, and moderately sweet. It was said to keep until December and to be good for sauce. The source also says Heyer regarded #2 as one of his two best originations, and gives the synonym Zaychuck #17. [S1]

A Rosthern test reference places it in 1930s test material. Hardiness notation appears as H2 in one place and H2-3 in another, so the source points to moderate hardiness but is not fully consistent. [S1]
