Alkmene Apples

Alkmene Apples are round, with smooth yellowish-green skin, with anywhere from ½ to ¾ of the surface covered by an orangey-red flush. There is also some russeting at the bottom.

The flesh is crisp and juicy.

Alkmene Apples have a rich, tangy flavour and smell.

They are good for fresh-eating.
