Eureka is an apple that originated in Wisconsin from seed of Tolman Sweet. The source distinguishes it from a separate Eureka described by Downing, said there to be a fall apple of supposed Connecticut origin [S1].
The fruit is described as large, regular, and roundish oblate, with a light yellow surface striped bright crimson on the sunny side and roughened by russet dots and cracking [S1]. The flesh is white, fine grained, moderately juicy, sweet, and rated very good [S1].
Its season is given as late winter, and the cultivar is described as a long winter keeper [S1].
