Malus domestica 'Regent'
Regent is a large attractive red-flushed dessert apple with a pleasant sweet flavor.
The apples ripen late - typically mid-October in northern states. They retain their flavor and texture very well in cold storage.

Advice on fruit tree pollination.
Regent is one of many varieties developed by the renowned and long-running University of Minnesota cold-hardy apple breeding program, and released in the early 1960s.
Regent was long-assumed to be a cross of Daniels Red Duchess and Delicious, but DNA-testing in 2020 confirmed that it was actually a cross of Haralson and McIntosh. The visual resemblance to Haralson is quite apparent.
