Golden Russet Apple Tree on Semi-dwarf sized root stock
$30.00
Faint green background with a golden, russet skin. Fine-grained, crunchy, white flesh. Nicely balanced sweetness, aromatic, rich and fruity. Medium-sized, late season apple that improves even more in storage. It has been called the “champagne of cider apples” and excels in fresh eating and drying as well. Farmer Favorite.
Origin is not well known. Most likely NY in the 17oo’s or 1800’s. Willowy tree but is vigorous in production. Biennial tendencies. Resistant to scab.
