Elstar is an large, fragrant all-purpose apple for eating fresh or for cooking with.

The skin is yellow, covered by orange-red blushes. The flesh is a firm, yellowish white, crunchy but not as crisp as other apples. The taste is sweet with a bit of a sour tang to it.

The tree tends to bear fruit every other year.
