Product Details

A 1700s standout from the Netherlands. The orange and green-yellow russeted large fruit have very firm, crisp juicy cream color flesh with delicious slightly acid, a little sweet, aromatic flavor. Ripens in October – November, will keep refrigerated until May. An excellent dessert apple and good for cider. The tree is hardy, a vigorous grower, and a very abundant bearer. The shoots are thickly set with fruit spurs. Our field notes from 11-16-2011 weight: ".37#, 18°Brix, low codling moth. The bears love it and have eaten almost all of them. They are sweet."

The grandmother tree is located in Forest, Sierra County. Forest, at 4489', was a very productive gold mining camp beginning in 1852. The remaining town is full of antique pears, apples and cherries that we will be introducing over the next several years. Apples are particularly productive and long lived at this site.
