Origin and History

Frantz was documented in a 1963 USDA survey of apple clones in the United States. The variety was received from two separate sources:

• From the Field Station at Hermiston, Oregon (Station No. AP-H-238), reported by the Agricultural Research Service, Irrigation Experiment Station, Prosser, Washington.
• From Sondregger's Nursery, Beatrice, Nebraska (Station No. A32674), reported by the U.S. Horticultural Field Station, Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The variety is recorded under two distinct USDA accession numbers, suggesting either independent introduction or separate maintenance of clonal material. Both registrations are from the early-to-mid 20th century American horticultural infrastructure.
