Norhey Improved was created by Dr. C. R. Ure at Agriculture Canada's Morden Research Station in the 1960s for harsh prairie winters. It is one of the hardiest apples and crops consistently and heavily.
The fruit has green skin that turns yellow after picking, with creamy crisp flesh and a sweet subacid flavour. It is fair for fresh eating and good for cooking and juicing.

Apples need pollen from a different apple or crabapple to set fruit. A second variety in your yard will do it, and so will a neighbour's apple or fruiting crabapple. Double flowered ornamental crabapples make no pollen and do not count.
