Smoky is an apple cultivar mentioned only in a nomenclature note in A Study of Northwestern Apples. The source says Sweet Moscow was “sometimes mixed with Smoky.” This places Smoky in the same Russian apple discussion, but gives no separate description of its fruit, tree, origin, season, or hardiness. [S1]
The available source gives no direct parentage, breeder, release date, place of origin, fruit description, storage behavior, culinary use, tree habit, disease note, or cold hardiness statement for Smoky. It only supports that Smoky was a distinct name or cultivar identity that was confused with Sweet Moscow in early northern apple literature. [S1]
