Roxbury Russet Apples

Roxbury Russet are medium-sized apples that are roundish but unevenly shaped, and somewhat lumpy looking.The skin is dull green with mottled brown russeting covering 1/3 to 1/2 the skin. There will be a bronzy-red blush sometimes on the side where it has been exposed to the sun.

Inside the flesh is greenish or off-white, with a somewhat coarse texture. It is very firm and crisp, and somewhat juicy.

The trees are reliable and generous providers every year, with the fruit ripening at the end of September to the start of October.

Roxbury Russet Apples can be used for fresh-eating, cider and pies.

Their 12.87% sugar content will yield 6% alcohol in making cider.

Storage Hints

Roxbury Russet Apples store well.

History Notes

Roxbury Russet Apples are listed in garden catalogues as early as 1845. Some speculate they were available in Roxbury, Massachusetts before 1649, because in that year grafts were taken to Connecticut from there.
