Perry Russet is a russeted apple cultivar recorded in N. E. Hansen's 1902 bulletin, A Study of Northwestern Apples. The source gives its origin as Perry, New York. It does not give parentage, breeder, or release date. [S1]
The fruit is medium sized and regular. It is described as oblate to roundish oblate and somewhat conical. The skin is rich golden yellow with an open network of russet in varying amounts. Hansen notes that some specimens grown in the West had almost no russet. [S1]
The flesh is yellow, firm, fine grained, rich, juicy, and brisk subacid. Its quality is rated very good. The description also notes large distinct dots, a wide cavity often marked with stellate russet, a short to medium stem, an open calyx with divergent segments, a conical tube, and small plump seeds. [S1]
Perry Russet is listed as an early winter apple in Hansen's artificial key. The full cultivar entry gives its season as December to February. [S1]
The tree is described as moderate, with spreading, upright growth. The source does not give productivity, disease behavior, pruning notes, or direct hardiness claims. Its inclusion in a South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station bulletin on northwestern apples places it in a northern orchard evaluation context, but no zone rating is stated. [S1]
Perry Russet is treated here as a cultivated apple. The source gives no direct parentage, sibling context, or later breeding use. [S1]
