Deoma is an apple recorded with an origin in Minnesota. In December 1901, J. S. Harris said he thought better of the apple than he had formerly, preserving a small contemporary judgment of the cultivar [S1].
The fruit was described as large, very regular, round, and slightly truncated, with a smooth yellow surface and bronze blush. Its flesh was white, juicy, sprightly, brisk subacid, and good. The source lists it as chiefly culinary and a winter apple [S1].
A technical description notes an open core, ovate cells, a wide funnel shaped tube, basal stamens, and about seventeen short, plump seeds [S1].
