Gemini is an apple cultivar that the Government of Manitoba recommends as a variety worth trying in northern Manitoba. The cited list places it in plant hardiness zone 2, which gives it a clear cold climate context, though no breeder, parentage, or release history is given here. [S1]
The fruit is described briefly as red over pale yellow. It ripens in late August and stores well, which suggests a useful keeping period for an early season prairie apple. [S1]
The source places Gemini among prairie apple types discussed for northern Manitoba. In that context, apples are grown in full sun on well drained sites and need cross pollination from another apple variety to bear well. These notes apply to the group rather than to Gemini alone, but they show how this cultivar was recommended for the region. [S1]
