Hans Trio is a three species apple or crabapple selection tied to N. E. Hansen's hardy fruit work and recorded in 1938.[S1] [S2] Sources identify it as a cross of Fluke No. 29 and Yellow Siberian crab. They place it in the Trio group of hardy apple crabapple material developed for northern conditions.[S1] [S2]
The surviving record is brief but clear. Hansen's bulletin lists Hans Trio among the Trio crabapples and gives its pedigree directly. A later Prairie Canada compilation repeats the same parentage and credits Hansen in 1938.[S1] [S2] Another index entry points back to the same bulletin page, showing that Hans Trio remained part of the station's named introduction record.[S1]
The fruit is described as oblate and about 1 1/4 inches across, green with a dull mixed red overlay.[S1] Its flesh is juicy, tough, pleasant, and subacid.[S1] Hansen's note adds a practical detail: it does not cook up, but the flesh is neutral rather than harsh or acerb.[S1] This suggests a small hardy fruit with usable quality, but not one noted for a soft sauce texture.[S1]
Season is one of its strongest recorded traits. Hansen lists it as keeping all winter, and the later prairie reference also describes it simply as a keeper.[S1] [S2]
Hans Trio belongs to Hansen's international, or three species, apple group. This was part of a broader effort to breed hardy fruit for the northern Great Plains from crabapple and related material, not just from standard dessert apples.[S1] The packet does not give direct hardiness wording for Hans Trio itself, but its place in that breeding program ties it to cold climate selection work in the Northwest and prairie region.[S1] [S2]
