Ditus Day was recorded as an apple originated by Ditus Day of Farmington, Minnesota, and was also identified as “No. 2” in the source. Day said the tree came from a Saxton apple that killed down in the winter of 1884-85; part of it sprouted back as Saxton, while another part produced this seedling [S1].
The fruit was described as small, roundish, regular, and truncated. Its skin was green with a dull red streaked cheek, becoming nearly solid red with obscure streaks on the sunny side [S1].
The flesh was white, pleasant, subacid, and rated good. The apple was listed for late winter and spring keeping, with another source table also noting small size, subacid flesh, and late winter season [S1].
