Rideau is an apple cultivar listed as a cross of Wealthy and Duchess, and the entry ties it to the Central Experimental Farm and a Smithfield reference. [S1] The surviving record is brief, but it places Rideau in the older Canadian hardy apple stream that drew on proven prairie and northern material. [S1]
The documented origin detail is limited to that pedigree note and the Central Experimental Farm association. [S1] This source gives no fruit description, season, storage, tree habit, or disease remarks, so those points remain open. [S1]
Rideau matters mainly as a named cultivar preserved in prairie apple literature, with direct parentage recorded rather than left as hearsay. [S1] A separate lineage note says Rideau later appeared as a parent in a cross with Northern Queen, but that is descendant breeding use, not Rideau's own parentage. [S1]
The entry does not state hardiness directly. [S1] Its inclusion in a prairie Canadian apple reference suggests it was part of the hardy apple circles grown or considered in that region, but this source gives no zone rating or winter survival statement. [S1]
