Colman is an apple cultivar described as a cross of Jonathan with Northern Spy pollen. Its origin is attributed to A. F. Colman of Corning, Iowa, and the entry notes 1902 as the third year of bearing. [S1]
The tree was described as productive. The fruit was large and round, with waxen yellow skin thinly striped and splashed with bright red, especially on the sunny side. Its flesh was white, juicy, and rated excellent in quality. [S1]
The apple was listed for early winter use and called promising for dessert and market where the parent varieties were hardy. [S1]
