Sweet Pipka is a Russian apple cultivar recorded in N. E. Hansen's 1902 study of northwestern apples. The bulletin lists it as Sweet Pipka, No. 321, and gives its origin as Russia. The available source gives no parentage, breeder, or release date. [S1]
The fruit is medium or smaller, oblong conic, and angular. The skin is smooth and clear yellow, turning white at full maturity, with many very large pale dots. The cavity is narrow and abrupt, with a noticeable irregular russet patch. The basin is wide, shallow, and slightly wrinkled. [S1]
The flesh is firm, white, juicy, fine grained, sweet, and good. Sweet Pipka ripens in September. A later keyed list in the same bulletin repeats its main traits: sweet flesh, medium or smaller size, oblong conic angular shape, and a much russeted cavity. [S1]
The source places Sweet Pipka among Russian apple entries evaluated for northwestern and Northern Plains conditions. It does not give a direct hardiness zone or winter survival statement for this cultivar. Its cold climate relevance comes from its inclusion in Hansen's regional apple survey, not from a specific hardiness claim. [S1]
