An 18th century Russian apple. These early apples are wonderful for sauce and are recommended for drying. These are quite productive trees but are fairly disease prone. They have improved under organic care but they should be watched closely for fire blight. They tend to have less scab than some but they also will drop quickly if there is excess heat. They add nice aromatics to a cider.
