White Queen is a Russian apple cultivar recorded by N. E. Hansen in A Study of Northwestern Apples. It is also listed as White Reinette, No. 339. Hansen describes it as medium, or medium and above in the identification key. The fruit is oblong conical, strongly angular, and ribbed. [S1]
The fruit is yellowish white to white, with no blush in the key description. The surface is described as yellowish white overlaid with white, with few, obscure, minute dots. The basin is narrow, shallow, corrugated, and ribbed. [S1]
The flesh is white, juicy, pleasant subacid, and rated good. Its season is August. Hansen places it among early summer apples in Class C, a group for green, yellow, or white apples that are not striped. [S1]
The available source gives no direct parentage, breeder, release date, tree habit, disease behavior, or hardiness rating. Russian origin is the only geographic clue in this packet. The bulletin records White Queen in a northern and northwestern apple evaluation context, not as a formal hardiness claim. [S1]
