The fruit ripens in mid to late July.

History Notes

Geneva Early Apples were developed from a cross between Quinte and Julyred apples done in 1964. There were 173 seedlings from that cross; this apple, labelled “NY 444” at the time, was selected in July 1973.

Publicly released in 1982 by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station.
