Mitchell's Red Warrior is a historical apple recorded in N. E. Hansen's 1902 bulletin A Study of Northwestern Apples. Hansen describes the tree as hardy and very productive. The fruit is above medium to large, roundish to slightly conical, and light yellow in the opening description. The cultivar is attributed to J. B. Mitchell and said to have originated in 1869 or 1870 at Cresco, northern Iowa. [S1]
A later entry describes the fruit in more detail. It is large, roundish, somewhat conical and angular, irregular, and somewhat ribbed. The skin is yellowish green, becoming yellow on the sunny side, with many minute white dots. The flesh is white, juicy, and acid. The core is open. The seeds are few, very plump, blunt, and almost rounded. The fruit is linked to a November season or maturity. [S1]
The tree is described only as hardy and very productive. The available source text gives no disease notes, rootstock details, pruning behavior, or storage duration beyond the November season note. [S1]
Hardiness evidence is direct but not zoned. Hansen calls the tree hardy in a northwestern apple evaluation context. The packet gives no modern USDA zone rating or explicit winter survival record. [S1]
Sources conflict on origin. One entry says Mitchell's Red Warrior originated at Cresco, northern Iowa, by J. B. Mitchell in 1869 or 1870. Another page gives the origin as Minnesota and notes specimens from R. H. L. Jewett of Fairbault, Minnesota. This may describe specimen provenance rather than true origin, but the available text does not resolve it. [S1]
