Wiki Draft

Goal is a prairie apple cultivar recorded as an Olga seedling introduced by Gaybird Nursery at Wawanesa, Manitoba, with a year reference of 1945. [S2] A later prairie apple reference credits Robinson and describes the fruit as light green with a dull red finish. This suggests a small but traceable place in western Canadian apple history. [S1]

Sources give only a limited origin story. The prairie index identifies Goal as a seedling of 'Olga' from Gaybird Nursery, while the later cultivar list credits Robinson. [S2] [S1] The later source also says Smithfield listed it as 'Goalie.' This appears to be an alternate name, not a separate cultivar. [S1]

The fruit is described only briefly as light green with dull red color and as early in season. [S1] No fuller published description appears here for size, flesh, texture, flavor, or keeping quality. Its eating and kitchen qualities remain unclear.

The supplied sources do not describe tree habit, productivity, bearing pattern, disease response, or management traits. Hardiness is also not stated directly in zone terms for prairie Canada. Still, Goal appears in a recommendation table as a fall apple listed for trial across Zones I, II, and III in a northern plains classification. This at least shows it was considered worth testing across a broad cold region range. [S1] [S2]

Within the archive context, Goal sits in Malus and appears to be a named prairie selection derived from Olga, not a documented parent of later cultivars in the material provided. [S2] The surviving record is sparse, but it preserves three useful anchors: a Manitoba nursery origin, an Olga seedling background, and the alternate name Goalie. [S2] [S1]
