Heyer #6 is an apple entry with unknown parentage, described as a Russian seed that came via Ottawa [S1]. It was noted in Rosthern testing in the 1930s, and the hardiness notes place it around moderately hardy, with one note shading toward borderline hardy [S1].
The fruit is about 5 cm across and fairly uniform, with a bright red blush over most of the surface and hard, fine grained flesh [S1]. It was said to keep better than the other Heyer selections [S1].
It is listed as an early ripening dessert apple, but the eating quality is mixed: one note says the flavor is not good, while another calls it rich but slightly astringent [S1]. Manchester reportedly considered it excellent when canned, though rather too large for canning [S1].
