Wiki Draft

Black Annette is an old apple variety reported in A Study of Northwestern Apples as brought from Marietta, Ohio, in 1866 by Aaron Plumley. It was grown for many years in Cedar and Muscatine counties, Iowa [S1].

The fruit is described as medium sized, roundish oblate, and regular. Its surface is green but almost wholly covered with dark brownish red, with darker splashes and large whitish and russet dots; the flesh is white, mild, and subacid [S1].

The source says this apple keeps into winter and spring, and notes that it does not appear to be the Black Annette described by Downing because this form keeps until June or later [S1]. A classification key also places it among black red apples, with round cells and a funnel shaped tube with median stamens [S1].
