Wolf River

Enormous fruits, often one pound or more. Pale yellow skin almost covered with pale dull red. Soft, tender, slightly mealy, creamy white flesh. Subacid flavor primarily used for baking and pies, but if full sun it becomes a fine dessert apple with distinctive flavor. Excellent for drying. Long lived, very hardy, productive tree. Strong, spreading, sturdy limb growth. Resistant to scab, mildew, fire blight and cedar-apple rust. Ripens from mid September to early October. Hardy to –50 degrees F. Open-pollinated seedling of Alexander found growing on the banks of the Wolf River near Fremont, Wisconsin in 1875.
