These apples look and taste a little quince like. They are coveted for cooking but are also tasty as a sliced up dessert apple paired with a nice cheese. They hold reasonably well and so you can display them in a bowl for a while before eating them. These tend to ripen over several weeks. We pick them from early August into September. They have decent disease resistance and are productive every year. Excess heat can make them drop their fruit early. We’ve found them quite easy to graft.
