Beauty Blush is a prairie apple selection from the cross Elsa x Wealthy. University of Saskatchewan introductions list it in 1960, and prairie apple literature attributes it to Patterson, with 1947 attached to that record.[S1] [S2] It appears to have been part of the cold climate apple work moving through the Canadian Prairies in the mid twentieth century.[S1] [S2]
Sources describe the fruit as mid season, somewhat oblong, and about 4.5 cm or up to 2 by 2 inches. It is yellow with a slight blush.[S1] [S2] The flesh is described as coarse, with a mildly sub acid, pleasing flavor, but only very fair overall quality.[S1] [S2] Prairie notes also say it tends to drop early and was used for jelly. This suggests it was valued more as a utility apple than as a top dessert fruit.[S1] [S2]
The tree is described as upright.[S2] The Saskatchewan introduction list gives its description under field conditions at Saskatoon without irrigation, which adds practical prairie context, though no explicit hardiness zone is stated.[S2] A right margin code on the prairie apple reference may relate to hardiness or status, but its meaning is not clear enough to support a firm hardiness claim.[S1]
