All about Regent apple trees

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.

How to grow

Regent has reasonable disease-resistance, particularly against cedar-apple-rust (CAR), but is susceptible to fireblight.

Advice on fruit tree pollination.

History

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.
