Westland is an Alberta apple introduced in 1979 from a cross of Heyer 12 and Dr. Bill. The large fruit has pale yellow green skin flushed light red and juicy off white flesh with a tart flavour.
Westland ripens in August and is useful for pie, sauce, and juice. Pick the fruit while firm because the flesh can soften quickly when left to mature fully on the tree. The tree has a drooping habit, somewhat weak branches, reliable heavy crops, and some susceptibility to fire blight.

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.
