Wiki Draft

Chenango is an apple also recorded as Chenango Strawberry and Sherwood's Favorite. The source gives its origin as Lebanon, New York, and cites specimens from F. J. Peterson of Waconia, Minnesota [S1].

The tree is described as vigorous and spreading. The fruit is medium to large, oblong conic, yellowish white, and mostly covered with rosy crimson stripes, with some whitish net veining [S1].

The flesh is white, tender, juicy, mild, pleasant subacid, and rated very good. It was described as a favorite dessert apple where grown [S1].

Season is inconsistent in the extracted source text: one entry says Early August, while another says September and October. The same source also states that Chenango was not sufficiently hardy in the north [S1].
