Harvest / Season : Mid Season

Description: A McIntosh type with sweet vinous flavor, but not all of Mac's
aromatics. Tart and tangy white crisp flesh; one of the best salad
apples because it doesn't brown quickly. Hangs on the tree better than
McIntosh, and more crisp in hot weather. Vigorous, long-lived tree is
annually productive and starts bearing early.
