Product Details

Crunchy, Delicious, Sweet and Tart, Late Season Storing Apple, Unique flavor with unusually dense flesh

This unassuming apple is quite extraordinary! This unknown, large, green skinned, boxy shaped apple has a rich dense flesh that packs a super crunch. Best in storage for a month or so but can still be eaten fresh if picked late off of the tree. It appears to be a rather shy bearer that prefers other pollinators around. The tree is healthy and vigorous. Great for fresh Eating and Pies. While it is nice to have fresh eating apples right off the tree, it is especially nice to be able to put them in storage (in you root cellar, of course) and have excellent apples later in the season when other fresh food from the garden has withered and the plants have gone to sleep for the winter.

The Grandmother tree is found in Nevada City, right along the Golden Chain Highway 49. Nevada City sits on Nisenan Land and was first settled by European Americans in 1849. Nevada City has been registered as a national historic landmark, where In 1850, there were 10,000 miners, business men (and women...), with saloons, barbershops (one run by Felix Gillet), hotels, brothels, hardware, grocery stores, horse and mule traders, to name a few.
