The New Brunswicker (also known as Sharp's New Brunswick Apple and Duchess of New Brunswick) is a domestic apple cultivar developed in the 19th century by Francis Peabody Sharp for colder climates such as Eastern Canada.[1] It is an all-purpose apple suitable for fresh eating and baking, but it does not store well.[2]
