Milwaukee is listed as a Duchess seedling that was in Scott test by 1911. It is described as a standard apple, with fruit about 8 cm across, clear yellow and washed with red stripes. [S1]
The fruit is early to midseason and keeps to February. It is noted as useful for cooking and cider, and the tree is described as an annual bearer that fruits young. [S1]
One source description says the flesh is tender and juicy but too acid in fall, while another says too coarse in fall; both agree it improves with keeping. The same source calls Milwaukee the best of the early Russian introductions. [S1]
