Patten's Greening appears as a hardy apple variety in a Northwest Nursery Company discussion of fruit growing for North Dakota and nearby northern prairie regions. The catalog lists it among newer hardy apples suited to the Northwest and says Mr. Patten developed it. [S1]
The source does not describe the fruit. It gives no size, color, flesh, flavor, ripening season, storage quality, or kitchen use. Its value here is historical and regional. The cultivar shows that northern growers and breeders were developing apples for climates such as North Dakota, Western Minnesota, South Dakota, and Montana. [S1]
The catalog says apples could be grown successfully in North Dakota when growers used hardy, northern grown stock. It defines young tree hardiness as the ability to ripen wood and enter winter fully dormant. It also presents steady winter cold as less damaging than repeated thaw and freeze cycles. These claims provide the hardiness context for Patten's Greening, but the source gives no direct zone rating or specific winter survival record for the cultivar. [S1]
The source gives no direct parentage, release date, institution, testing code, or descendant use for Patten's Greening. The only specific origin detail is the reference to Mr. Patten as breeder. [S1]
