Luke is listed here as an apple associated with J. Luke of Rosthern, Saskatchewan, with parentage given as unknown. The fruit is described as large, about 8 to 9 cm, mottled dark red over green, and introduced by Morden in 1961. It is said to be only fair for dessert but useful for cooking and a good keeper. [S1]
It ripens in early October, which the source notes is rather late for the Prairie provinces. The flesh may bruise from early summer hail, and one cited note says it is not satisfactory in cold regions unless it has good wind protection and is topworked onto a hardy early maturing host tree. Another note calls it a little tender, but a good apple. [S1]
The same page also includes a different "Luke" entry, described as a Wealthy seedling associated with CEF and M.B. Davis and dated 1911, so the name appears to cover more than one selection in this source. [S1]
