Lubsk Queen is an apple of unknown parentage, introduced from Russia by Budd and Gibb in the 1880s. It was also noted as being on test at Scott in 1911. [S1]
The fruit is described as a standard sized apple, about 7 cm across, with glistening white skin and bright pink to rosy red blush. Its snow white flesh is firm, juicy, and tart to most tastes. It ripens in late August to early September and was noted as a good keeper for an early apple because it does not become overripe or mealy on the tree. [S1]
