White Vochin is a Russian apple cultivar described by N. E. Hansen in the 1902 South Dakota bulletin A Study of Northwestern Apples. Hansen lists it as White Vochin No. 364 and links it to the spurious Red Queen No. 316. No parentage is given. [S1]
The fruit is medium or larger, round, very oblate, and regular. The skin is clear greenish yellow to pale yellow or white. It rarely has bronze or a red blush on the sunny side. Hansen also notes obscure large whitish dots and an irregular russet patch that spreads from the cavity over the base. [S1]
The flesh is juicy, fine grained, firm, rich, satisfying, mild subacid, and good. The key places White Vochin among early summer, subacid or acid apples in the green, yellow, or white class. These may have blush, but are never striped. [S1]
The tree is a strong grower with a rather spreading habit. The source gives no hardiness zone. Its inclusion in a northwestern apple bulletin from South Dakota places it in an experiment station context focused on apples for northern and prairie-adjacent conditions. [S1]
White Vochin is a named apple cultivar, not a documented breeding cross. Its Russian origin is stated directly. The Red Queen reference appears to warn about identity or synonymy, not parentage. [S1]
