Semi-dwarf on M-111 rootstock.

Zones: 3-9

Chill hours: 800-1000

Harvest: September 20 - October 10

Looks: Medium-sized ripe fruit hangs on the tree until frost; fruit stored properly keeps until April. Skin partly to almost completely russeted, varying from grayish-green or greenish-yellow to an attractive golden brown with orange highlights.

Personality: Crisp, aromatic, subacid, creamy yellow flesh with great flavor and legendary sugary juice.

Facts of note: Winter hardy, vigorous tree, bears mostly on the tips of branches. Good disease resistance. This is one of the few apple varieties that makes a delicious single variety cider, it is also a wonderful addition to cider blends. Apparently originated in New York as a seedling of English Russet sometime in the 1700s.

Pollination: Partly self fruitful, biggest crops with cross-pollination.

Apples are generally late blooming. Need full sun, well-drained soil, and moderate fertility. Thin fruit to maximize quality and size. Susceptible to codling moth, apple scab, powdery mildew, and gophers. Generally cross-fertile, which means that the variety is not pollinated by itself, but by a different variety of the same fruit. Three or more varieties are best. Harvest 3rd year.



Please Note: Although most of our bare-root trees arrive to our warehouse in mid-December, there are a few varieties -- Almond, Mulberry, Walnut, Persimmon, and Jujube -- that will not arrive until mid-January. If you order any of those varieties along with varieties that arrive in mid-December, your order will be delayed for shipment until mid-January unless you ask us to split your shipments and agree to pay any additional shipping charges resulting from two separate shipments.
