A modern apple from Germany, this is a cross of three of our other apples, Cox Orange Pippin, Duchess of Oldenburg and Golden Delicious. It doesn’t look like any of them, being more pointed than all of them with a creamy background and some rose red striping. It’s odd that this apple has as mild a flavor as it does and that, unlike its parents, grows well in hotter, drier climates. The scion wood tends to be skinnier than most.
