A fantastic apple! This medium size apple is crisp, sweet and has a subtle berry-grape flavor. It's white flesh and complex skin coloring makes this a beauty! A yellow green background is splashed and striped with a few shades of red and pink and covered in a blue bloom (the wild yeasts). We found that apples with heavy bloom on them often have exceptional flavor. This is one of those. We love to eat the Washington Strawberry best fresh, but it also makes great juice, and of course, you can cook it too. Ripens mid September at 4500'.

The little mining town of Forest, Sierra County, CA at 4500' is covered in snow throughout the winter. Although at one point it was a bustling little mountain mining town, it now has only 1 family who lives there year round. Forest City's annual Apple Festival in mid October is an opportunity to enjoy all things apple and historic. They even start up the old steam powered stamp mill which was used to crush the ore and extract the gold from inside the rock. A fun Sunday in Forest, with the locals, is a treat for us each year.
