State Fair is an apple introduced by the University of Minnesota in 1979 from Mantet crossed with Oriole. It later contributed to the breeding of Zestar!, released in 1999.
The medium sized fruit has bright red stripes over yellow skin and crisp, juicy flesh with an aromatic flavour. It suits fresh eating and baking but stores for only about one month after harvest.
Cold Hardiness Zone: 3/4

More about this plant
State Fair is described with juicy, moderately tart fruit. A Minnesota source places ripening from mid to late August; this is regional context rather than a fixed Manitoba date. The same source reports susceptibility to fire blight, storage of about two to four weeks, and some tendency toward biennial bearing.
Pollination
For reliable fruit set, grow a genetically different apple or crabapple that flowers at the same time. Bloom overlap at your site is the final compatibility check.
