|
|
Description: CRISP, coarse textured, Sweet/tart complex flavor that appeals to more people that any other apple, I know.! Excellent keeper. Better eaten fresh than baked. Medium
to large. 2-3/4" to 4" or larger. King fruit
thinning may be useful to reduce size in some situations. Color:
60-90 percent dappled red over yellow in cool climates.
May
not color as well in warmer climates. Other factors critical for high
color are good sun exposure and avoiding excess nitrogen.
|
Other Characteristics : Hardiness zone: 4,5,6,7,8,9. Scab resistant, Low vigor after cropping, do not allow to overcrop as the tree may "stall out" and lose vigor. Grows well on dwarfing rootstocks (avoid"mark"  rootstock)

Parentage / Origin : Golden Delicious x Haralson 1970
|
Harvest / Season : Mid-late Season
|
|
Description: Golden to yellow-green fruit that is sweet, crisp, and juicy. Excellent
for fresh eating and also good for cooking. The fruit will store for 2
to 3 months. Tree is easy to manage but susceptible to fire blight. Wait for yellow background and pronounces lenticles on the fruit for the best flavor. It's worth the wait.
|
Other Characteristics : This apple bruises easier than any other I have grown, handle appropriately!
