One of the best fresh eating apples of the entire season! We love this apple! It is a very juicy and crisp, white-fleshed apple with a flavor we'd compare to Fuji or Honeycrisp. Complex, sweet, slightly tart with some berry/grape flavor. The grandmother tree is still very healthy and produces almost every year. The size and shape of each apple is unique and vary greatly, but average size is medium/large. Some are flat round with dots and striping while others will be oblong or conical with deep, red blushing. Eat fresh or juice. It crops almost every year. Ripens mid September at 2700'.

This tree is growing amazingly well after 100 years in Goodyear's Bar, Sierra County, CA. It gets watered regularly and the weeds are kept down by burros. Cy Rollins and his daughter "Little" Diane take very good care of this tree, as well as many others, and it shows! We are forever grateful for those who steward these cousins of ours, the trees. The brothers Miles and Andrew Goodyear, along with a Dr. Vaughan and a Mr. Morrison, prospected here in the summer of 1849 and found gold enough for their liking to settle down at this crossing of the Yuba River. The Goodyear boys built a sturdy cabin and before long the rich deposits attracted a number of miners to their camp, which was given the name Goodyears Bar in honor of its founders.
