Norda
type: Dessert
identification: Medium size, round. The base colour is green maturing to yellow, over which is streaked red. Thin skin.
characteristics: The flesh is cream coloured, firm and crisp. Moderately juicy, flavourful.
uses: Dessert, baking, dried apple rings. The consistency of the flesh seems to break down slightly when baked.

Introduced by Agriculture Canada's Beaverlodge Research Station near Grande Prairie, Alberta in 1976. The parentage is somewhat confusing with Rosilda x Rescue, Rosilda x Mantet and Haralson x Rescue being tendered as the breeding. However, Rosilda x Trail is now the accepted breeding.
