Northern Queen is an apple cultivar recorded in prairie apple reference literature. The surviving entry is very brief. It links the cultivar with CEF Saunders and cites Brooks as the reference source. The entry does not give a fruit description, parentage, season, tree habit, or hardiness note. [S1]
Northern Queen is therefore a lightly documented name in the prairie apple record, not a well described cultivar. Its placement beside other hardy apple entries suggests it belonged to the broader cold climate orchard world, but the source does not provide enough detail to describe its fruit, management, or geographic adaptation with confidence. [S1]
