Lowel is an apple listed as a cross of Lowland and Bethel, and it is associated with W. T. Macoun and the Central Experimental Farm. The entry gives a date, but it is unclear. It is also listed under the synonym Greasy Pippin. [S1]
It is described as a standard sized apple, with yellow fruit showing some russeting. The flesh is juicy and slightly coarse, and it is noted as good for both dessert and cooking. Ripening is described as early midseason to late, with fruit maturing over several weeks. [S1]
The source rates Lowel as moderately hardy and describes it as a reliable home garden apple. One note from Smithfield records instead describes the fruit as crimson and early, so the color and season details are not fully consistent across references. [S1]
