Wiki Draft

Ledenets is an apple cultivar recorded in N. E. Hansen's 1902 bulletin A Study of Northwestern Apples. Hansen says it came from S. A. Alling of Homer, Minnesota, and lists it as No. 30 M. The available source gives no direct parentage. [S1]

The fruit is below medium size, regular but slightly unequal and oblique, and oblate or depressed in shape. The skin is light clear golden yellow with bright crimson or carmine splashes, red stripes, and a few tiny yellow dots. A descriptor key in the same bulletin also calls it roundish oblate with very long, pointed segments. [S1]

The flesh is white, firm, moderately juicy, mild, pleasant, saccharine, and subacid. Quality is rated good. The core is closed, clasping, and sessile. Hansen gives the season as late winter and spring, so the apple was valued for keeping rather than early fresh use. [S1]

The available Ledenets entry does not report tree habit, disease behavior, or an explicit hardiness zone. Its Minnesota origin and inclusion in a northwestern apple study make it relevant to northern apple evaluation, but the packet gives no direct winter survival statement. [S1]

One small historical detail remains: fruit of Ledenets was shown at the Minnesota State Fair. The page also includes a cut-fruit illustration labeled Ledenets, No. 30 M, giving the cultivar more visual documentation than many brief catalog entries. [S1]
