Dyer is described in A Study of Northwestern Apples as an old French apple variety, originally known as Pomme Royal before receiving its present name in North America [S1]. The tree is a fair grower, bears early and annually, but the fruit's thin skin made it poor for distant shipping because it bruised easily [S1].
The fruit is medium to large, roundish to somewhat flattened, and obscurely ribbed, with clear greenish yellow skin, little or no blush, and variable thin russet net veining [S1]. Its flesh is described as yellowish white, very tender, juicy, spicy, rich aromatic, and sprightly subacid, with quality rated excellent to best [S1].
The source says Dyer was not hardy north, though a few trees had been raised in northern Iowa by top grafting on hardy stocks [S1]. Its listed season is unclear as written, given as "October to September" [S1].
