Longfield is listed as an apple cultivar in Edible Apples in Prairie Canada. One entry marks it as ST, indicating a standard apple with fruit 5 cm in diameter or larger [S1].
The source is sparse and gives no added detail on origin, season, flavor, or hardiness [S1]. The reference note is unclear, with abbreviated citations appearing as either CGS or C&S in the supplied material [S1].
