Inside, the white flesh is finely-textured and crisp.
Much like a McIntosh apple, but sweeter.
The trees must be heavily thinned, or the fruit that is produced will be small. The apples must be harvested on time because they can drop prematurely from the trees, and if left too long on the trees, they will go musty in storage.
Cooking Tips
Good fresh or for applesauce.
Storage Hints
Stores well in commercial storage for up to 4 months, though softens a bit after picking, but remains juicy.
