Product Details

An American heirloom from Ohio about 1800. One of the best dessert apples of its season, crisp tender and delicious. Fruit is medium to large, roundish-conic, with smooth, pretty pale yellow or greenish yellow, with bright red stripes skin. Flesh is white slightly tinged with yellow, moderately firm, fine-grained, crisp, very tender, juicy, sprightly, somewhat aromatic, pleasantly sub acid and very good. One of our favorites. Harvest in October, keeps through January. Tree is medium-sized, moderately vigorous and upright.

The wild and wooly mother tree grows in the town of Forest in Sierra County. Forest 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 4500’ site.
