Reinette Simirenko

The Reinette Simirenko is an antique apple variety. The fruit has tender, crisp, greenish white flesh with a subacid flavor.^[1] It was the most widely grown variety in the Soviet Union.^[2]

Cosmonauts took Reinette Simirenko into space,^[3] lending popularity to the story that this variety originated in the garden of Ukrainian Leo Simirenko.^[4]
