Red Astrachan is presented as a standard apple cultivar associated with Sweden, with fruit described as standard size (about 5 cm in diameter or more) [S1]. It is reported to fruit in early August and is noted as having a light crop [S1]. The source also reports it as H3 on a BC hardy list, which is treated there as borderline hardiness [S1].
The entry does not provide parentage, breeding use, or a confirmed release date, and no additional site, taxonomy, or care details are available in the supplied packet [S1].
