Thanks Ed,

I think anurka is the German spelling.  I got a lot of hits on Google when
spelled as Annurca.  Not sure if it related to anoka.  FYI, here are some
comments...

Annurca is an apple variety grown in the south of Italy and demanded in the
local markets for its high quality. From the agronomical point of view it
has several shortcomings such as bare wood, tremendous vigour, late bearing
habit, biennial crop, very short peduncle, lack of red skin colour.

Our Country [Italy] is in fact one of the greater European producers of
this fruit in its various varieties like Delight Golden and Rossa, Annurca
and Renetta

                                                     
 Obtained: Ancient variety from Campania (South      
 Italy Region) grown locally.                        
                                                     
 Tree: The tree is vigorous with an upright canopy.  
                                                     
                                                     
 Fruit: The fruit is medium to small with flat       
 shape; the skin is thick, early is yellowish-green  
 and become stripened brilliant red blush when it    
 ripens; the flesh is quite firm and strong, it has  
 an average juiciness, it is sweet slightly acid, it 
 has an average amount of aromas and good flavour    
 characteristics.                                    
                                                     
 Ripening period: the second week of October in      
 Campania; fruits are tasteful from December and for 
 some month.                                         
 The growth of this apple could be improved by using 
 dwarfing rootstocks, growth regulators, better      
 growing techniques and better colored clones.

John:

     It looks like one called 'Anoka', an early season variety of mediocre
quality.

     Hope this helps.

Ed, So. Indiana, Heaven, etc.
