Twenty Ounce Apples

Twenty Ounce Apples have thick, tough greenish-yellow skin flushed with deep red.

Inside, they have coarse, tender, juicy off-white flesh with a tart taste.

The tree starts bearing fruit while still young.

The apples ripen in September or October, depending on location. They don’t all ripen all at once.

Not the same as Twenty Ounce Pippin apples.
