eating quality.

Golden
Russet: Taste one of the most famous old American russet apples,
remembered for its fine-grained, mellow yellow crisp flesh, bursting with sugary juices
bound to stick to ones fingers like candy. |
Holiday: The definitive dessert apple: The white, juicy flesh is tart and
crisp, and explodes with each bite. A cross between the Jonathan
and Macoun, this fine flavored apple was recently introduced
by the Ohio Agriculture Experiment Station.
| Calville Blanc D'hiver: The classic dessert apple of France is a delicacy still served in the finest Paris restaurants. Its tender, spicy flesh with the fragrance of a delicate banana is packed with Vitamin C, exceeding all other eating apples and even the orange! |
|
Jonathan: A favorite since introduced in 1826 from an orchard in New
York, first planted by Jonathan Harsbrouck. A Tree-Mendus
original from our beginnings in 1926, old fashioned flavor
harvested from September through October.
Margil: Classic and conical in shape, the Margil's firm yellowish flesh offers
a sugary, luscious aromatic flavor. Cultivated around 1750 and
remembered for its orange-red skin marked with dark red stripes,
the Margil stores well and is excellent for blending in ciders.
 |
Fallwater/Tulpehocken: Perfect for pies,
sauces and apple butters, this variety's first recorded planting was in the 1800's growing
in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. When carefully harvested in the fall, its flesh is
coarse, crisp and mildly sweet, and unassertive with age! |
Esopus Spitzenberg: Spicy in character, the flesh is pale yellow, firm crisp and tender to taste. Thomas Jefferson's favorite apple keeps well when properly harvested during early October. |
