Scott Winter is a Malus apple cultivar described in a 1902 South Dakota Agricultural College bulletin on northwestern apples. The bulletin says it originated in Vermont and was introduced by Dr. T. H. Hoskins. It was considered promising for northern conditions. [S1]
The fruit is medium sized or smaller and roundish oblate to conical. Its surface is rich yellow and heavily washed with red. The description also notes faint dark stripes or splashes and some open russet net veining. [S1]
The flesh is yellow, fine grained, juicy, crisp, and pleasantly sprightly acid. The source rates the quality as good and says it is used chiefly for cooking. [S1]
Scott Winter is listed as a late winter apple. The tree is a strong, upright grower and bears well every year. [S1]
The available source gives no direct parentage. The packet does not include a modern hardiness zone rating, but the 1902 bulletin evaluated it among apples for northern and northwestern conditions and specifically called it promising in the north. [S1]
