Sweet appears in A Study of Northwestern Apples as Sweet Pear, a Russian apple listed as No. 965. The source includes it among sweet apples used for northern and northwestern cultivar comparison. It gives no breeder, nursery, parentage, or release date. [S1]
The fruit is small to medium, round, truncated, and slightly angular. The skin is yellow, with a pale dull red blush or bronze tint. Minute reddish dots appear on the bronzed cheek. The cavity is wide and deep, and the stem is long. The basin is small, very shallow, and wrinkled. The calyx is closed. [S1]
The flesh is white, juicy, breaking, sweet, and rated good. The season is early winter. A keyed list in the same bulletin repeats its main traits: sweet flesh, round truncated form, and a blushed appearance. [S1]
The available source gives no tree habit, productivity, disease behavior, or storage duration beyond the early winter season. It states no hardiness zone. Its Pomologica relevance comes from its Russian origin and its inclusion in a South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station study of apples for northwestern and northern plains conditions. [S1]
The source gives no parentage or descendant breeding use. It supports treating Sweet Pear as a named apple cultivar, but gives too little evidence to place it more precisely within Malus taxonomy or breeding history. [S1]
