The best and most delicious apple of the historic Gail's Orchard. Everything you'd like out of an apple. Bright Red, Medium Large, Crisp, Perfect Sweet/Tart balance, very rich and flavorful. Great all around apple. They can hang on the tree for months and still keep crisp and flavorful. They seem to produce almost every year and are ripe in September and October. We haven't tried but they will most likely store well into winter when stored properly in your root cellar. They are very similar to our 'Calville Rouge Apple' and may be the same variety. However, these ripen earlier than the 'Calville Rouge'.

Historic Gail's Orchard is on private property in the middle of the Tahoe National Forest. Originally a summer home to the Nisenan, this protected orchard is difficult to find and dangerous if you do. Be prepared to run for your life! An operating ranch since the mid 1800s. Over a hundred years of cattle ranching has probably contributed to the extraordinary heath and vigor of these trees.
