An English variety discovered about 1750 in jolly ol England. A beautiful medium sized apple! It's perfumed, creamy white to firm yellow flesh eats well right from the tree. This yellowish green apple is covered in distinct crimson stripes and the cavity often emits golden rays of russet. The taste is sweet, aromatic and slightly floral. Delicious. Great out of hand, in cider and dried. Ripens in late August to mid September at 4100’. Keeps 2-3 months under refrigeration.

The mother tree grows at Bucks Ranch, Nevada County near Orleans Flat mining camp at 4100 feet on the San Juan Ridge overlooking the Middle Fork of the Yuba River. The Buck brothers homesteaded this property in the late 1870’s, in part to provide fruit for the thriving mining camp. Buck's Ranch, now private property, still has more than 100 thriving ancient fruit and nut trees. Cared for once again, they receive no irrigation, spraying or fertilization, just occasional pruning, producing great crops 140 years after they were planted!
