Wiki Draft

Turley Winesap is listed as a winter apple in South Dakota Extension guidance for home fruit gardens. The source does not describe the fruit, tree, or origin. It does show that the cultivar was considered worth trial in the mildest fruit growing part of the state, not as a general recommendation across all South Dakota zones. In that table, Turley Winesap appears under Varieties for Trial for Zone I, defined as the southern border counties, Lincoln County, and western and lower valleys around the Black Hills. [S1]

This placement is the strongest evidence here for its horticultural significance. It suggests Turley Winesap was viewed as a cultivar for favored sites, with less certainty for colder or more exposed parts of the prairie. The packet provides no supported details on parentage, breeder, place of origin, fruit quality, season, storage, disease, or later breeding use. Those points remain open. [S1]
