Some of the apple varieties available from the University of Saskatchewan Research Program in 2011 are:

Prairie Sensation

Large, firm, crisp and juicy. Intense aroma. Similar to the gala apple. Great for fresh eating, juicing and cooking. Stores for four months under proper condition. Ripens around September 10th.

Misty Rose

Medium, firm, sweet and juicy. Colour is 90% red wash over light green. Very good eaten fresh. The fruit has good storability. Ripens around September 4th.

Granny Annie

Medium to large. The flavour is good and sub-acid (like a good Granny Smith both sweet and sour). Excellent eating for people who like tart apples. Ripens around September 30th.

Autumn Delight

Small to medium, very sweet, bright red. I call it "the lunch box apple." Excellent storability, ripens around September 26th.

Petrofka Mac

Large, sweet with bitter after taste. It is a Macintosh/Brockland seedling. It is hardy at my place and tastes like a good Macintosh. It has good storability, good juicer. Ripens around September 15th.

Red Mike

Small, Mac aroma, red in colour, good storage. Ripens in mid September.

Patience

Medium in size, bright red colour, good dessert apple, good cooking apple. Good selling apple over the counter. Stores well and ripens late September.

Norland

Medium sweet apple, good for fresh eating and cooking. Ripens mid-August, store for two months if picked before maturity.

Parkland

Medium to large, good for fresh eating and cooking. Ripens late August. Hardy and resistant to fire blight. Good storage ability.

Battleford

A proven apple for many years. Medium to large, good fresh eating and juicing. Fair cooking. A top rated prairie apple tree for hardiness. Ripens in late August.

Goodland

Large, sweet and slightly acidic. Very good for fresh eating and cooking. Should be in sheltered location, store two to three months. Ripens late September.

Minnesota 447

Now named "Frost Bite" medium, very firm, sweet and crisp. Excellent juicer, fresh eating. Under proper condition will store for six months or more. Ripens in mid October.

Rescue

A small crab apple. Flesh is white, crisp and sweet. Good for canning and juicing. Does not store well. Very hardy to the Prairie, ripens in August.

Norda

Medium to large, crisp and moderately juicy. Good for fresh eating and cooking. Some say Norda is the same apple as Norkent. Ripens early September, moderately thick skin. Very hardy to our climate.

NOTE: Some of the named apple varieties are not necessarily available in large quantities in the fall of 2011 as our orchards are not fully mature.
