Aport is a cultivar of the cultivated apple ( Malus domestica) that happened in 1865 near the then city of Alma-Ata (from Kazakh алма / alma ("apple") and ата / ata ("grandfather"), later Almaty ) as a random seedling originated. The variety has been improved through systematic crossing, including with the Asian wild apple (Malus sieversii) .
