In-Depth Description
This classic New England apple variety is prized for its outstanding flavor and dependable performance in the edible garden. Growing on a vigorous, hardy semi-dwarf tree, it produces abundant mid-season crops of beautifully colored fruit with rich, dark purple-red skin set against a green background. The firm, aromatic white flesh delivers a superb, well-balanced flavor that has earned it a reputation as one of the best apples for fresh eating.
Exceptionally productive and easy to grow, this tree naturally drops ripe fruit, making harvest simple. It’s an excellent choice for home orchards where quality, reliability, and flavor matter most. A true favorite for generations, this apple needs little introduction—and even less convincing once you taste it.
