Description
Large round bright green skin, crisp, sweet tasty/acid tangy flavour. Great dessert apple when left on the trees to fully ripen, when the skin goes yellow with a brown tinge, and the flesh goes super sweet and juicy. Far better on 793/Northern Spy rootstock than modern dwarfing stock.
Ripens April-May.
Also great used for cooking, juicing, drying and storing.
Originally from the settlement and huge orchards planted at Port Albert (on the Kaipara Harbour) by the Albertlanders from Germany.
