'Ottawa 292' apple was introduced a number of years ago by the former Division of Horticulture, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The variety is a cross between 'Crimson Beauty' and 'Red Astrachan'. Although never given a name at Ottawa it is rated highly by the New York Fruit Testing Co-operative Association and is considered one of the best early apples that they propagate. Trees of this variety were planted at the Summerland Station in 1951 and have been fruiting since 1956. The tree is of moderate size, compact and inclined to biennial bearing. Artificial freezing tests have shown it to be extremely hardy. It is rated highly as a hardy stembuilder, and in fact is being propagated in the State of Washington for this purpose. It has recently been added to the list of recommended framework varieties for the B.C. Interior.
