High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The York Imperial, or York is a cultivar of apple (Malus domestica) from which a number of other valuable strains and cultivars have arisen, including four sport varieties: Commander York, Ramey York, Red Yorking, and Yorking. In 1820, Quaker nurseryman Jonathan Jessop (also Jessup) developed this variety of apple on his "Springwood Farm" near York, Pennsylvania, United States, from grafts of a tree from John Kline's farm at Hellam. Some sources report Jessop observed school children digging out leaf-covered apples that were in a remarkable state of preservation in the early spring and later grafted another variety onto it. Though lop-sided, this new cultivar quickly became popular because of its taste and long keeping properties—which was especially important in the era before refrigeration. This cultivar was originally known as “Jonathan's Fine Winter” (sometimes reported as “Johnson's Fine Winter”), after Jonathan Jessop. Some sources credit John Kline of Hellam and some say it was William Johnson, nearer to York.
