all-time best-flavored apples. Small to medium-sized fruit; variable
shape, often lop-sided. Greenish to golden brown russet skin with reddish
highlights. Creamy yellow flesh is aromatic, crisp and sweet. Fruit
picked early is somewhat sharp and acidic, but mellows after a few weeks
off the tree. Ripens after Red Delicious, about with Golden Delicious.
Keeps 3-4 months. Used for dessert, cider and sauce. Resistant to
powdery mildew, somewhat resistant to apple scab. Winter hardy tree,
begins bearing at young age. From England, discovered in the early
1700s. Estimated chilling requirement 800-1000 hours. Partly
self-fruitful, biggest crops with cross-pollination.

dessert apple, also excellent for cooking and cider. (Long-time apple

prominent, uneven ribs near the base. Usually harvested green, turning
yellow and reaching peak flavor a month or so after picking. Best quality
