Product Details

This late Fall ripening apple has everything you need in an apple. It has crisp, tender, sweet and juicy flesh with just the right amount of tartness. Rich and aromatic flavor and super crunch wins hearts. The great taste is complemented by it's sun ripened candy red crimson skin. Vigorous and productive tree with good resistance to fireblight and scab. Consistent producer. Very popular here at the FGI.

The mother tree thrives at 4100' at Bucks Ranch overlooking the Middle Fork of the Yuba River in rural Nevada County, CA. Amigo discovered Buck's Ranch in 1970, years before he first caught wind of Felix Gillet and the legacy that inspired this project. The trees on this property, once abandoned, are dry farmed, get no fertilizer (other than bear and deer poop!), and are not sprayed. They are hearty! Forty five years later we are still tending and propagating these beautiful trees, ensuring their genetics live on for our posterity! What Fun!
